Default Marine/Marine Commando para wings
Embroidered into a black base material and nicely padded. The padding in the wing looks almost to be a horse hair or something equally as coarse.

Came as part of a recent Marine Commando group of insignia. Looks to be late WW2 or post war. Would be interested to hear others thoughts

Thanks
Jack

Jack, whilst I could not state 100% that it is WWII, it looks correct and is a very fine example imo
