Default Parachute wings real or not
Hi this is my first post (though I've been a member for a while ) I recently bought a box of ww2 cloth insignia and I would be grateful for any opinions on this set of wings that were in amongst it. Or any pointers on spotting fake ones.

Some pics of the backing would help.

Hi thanks for your reply , the reason I was not sure about it was that the front and back look so similar! Hopefully the rest of the box will check out too.
