I had a hunt today with Dirt Lizard up in Ansonia this morning. All I have to show for five hours is this set of wings. (And a pocket full of clad) I'm not sure if it's official military or what. Any info would be appreciated.

They may be stainless steel. They cleaned up pretty nice. On the back there is a stamp which says: W25

Us Colonel

If you notice the arrows that are grasp by the claws are mirrored in the other direction if you had found two of them together as they were normally obtained in pairs. Not sure how to tell on dating those. They have not really changed much I don't imagine.
