Paratrooper jump wing

My son found this paratrooper jump wing and likes to know its origin. I'm not familiar with this topic so help on this is much appreciated. Looks like the wing is bronze and it is signed on the back with G23.

American, basic para qualification badge , theres also a senior and a master para qualification badge which have a star and a star in a wreath above the 'chute. G23 is a makers mark.

the pins on the back you might be able to fix fairly easily , the clutch pins are readily available and cheap , if you google butterfly clutch pin you'll find them for sale
