They look more like 1930's era to me. For one thing the earlier late teens 1920's style wing was not cutout around the anchor. The anchor shield was solid with no 'daylight' around the bottom of the anchor. Your wings are the next style normally attributed to mid to late 1930's having this area 'cutout. Many earlier style wings had a tounge rather then roller catch. I'm not sure about the Robbins catch tough. Robbins wings are always desirable and these wings look great with really nice intact gilding! Gilded brass is standard for wings of this period although many sterling wings were also made. I believe it wasnt until WWII and the need to conserve brass for munitions that most wings , unit crests and things were mostly made of sterling. check out this site:
