Sorry about the upside down photo. Still trying to figure out this thing!
The Pegasus badge, any idea if it's real? Repro?

Thank you for answering about the wing. What type is it?

As for the Pegasus badge....can't tell you as it is not my area of interest....stay tuned, I'm sure a few fellow members will be able to answer you.All I know is that concerning the para wings,there are about half a dozen wartime patterns.....

Hello,

Nearly got whiplash from turning my head to look at the photos but I believe the wing is the early post war 1949ish. Unsure about the Pegasus.

The authorised Pegasus badge was not supposed to show the outline of the leg.

Thanks for righting the photos.

On further study of the wing I now believe it to be a wartime wing.

Sorry as I was in a rush this morning!
