Repro BB&B jump wings
The makers of the first 350 jump wings were Bailey, Banks & Biddle Company of Philadelphia. All of these first wings bear BB&B on the back and they are a rare collector’s item. I just wanted you to know that recasts are now turning up at eBay, also of other rare maker versions such as Sugarman. The current seller honestly lists them as repros, but they are really well made and might later be sold as originals.
Want a neat set of Wings mine were earned at the Royal Thai Air Force Jump school, over in Thailand. There I earned my Standard freefall wings and also my Halo Wings. Was cool and very differant. I do not know how to post pics yet on here but they are pretty and I am proud of them as you can tell I guess. Sorry I just enjoy jumping or did till diagnosed with ALS and other diseases from Agent Orange. No problem with VA they are great.

Nice wings! Do you remember the name of the seller as I wouldn’t mind getting a set myself?
No, sorry, but if you keep checking eBay, they’ll pop again sometime. If you have $1500 left, someone’s selling a pair of original BB&B wings !
There is a T5 Jumpmaster44 for sale on Ebay now, Don’t remember listing number but just look up T5 WW II and its there. Lot of pics
