hi all
just like to get your thoughts on this RAAF wing.
the front looks ok to my novice eyes but not sure of the reverse.
they also look to be padded
cheers

Anything where the AA in the RAAF don't interloop is a copy

I beg to differ, many of my original Aus wings don't have overlapping As...including Brit made pieces

Hi Mike,
Yes you are right , I should have been more specific. I was talking Australian made Flat Battledress wings and Padded Service Dress wings.
I just stay away from any that don't interloop as they are the ones that are copied to death. Like the "North Africa" type.
Ive got Indian and Africa theatre made types and they all interloop though much more crude looking than Aust or Canadian made brown wreath type.
Cheers

Ah ok, I gotcha now. Although I'll have to root through my pics, I think one of my great uncle's wings is a standard Australian pattern with non overlapped As....BUT I suppose there will almost always be an exception!

This is my Rule of Thumb example for Australian Made Flat Battledress Wings.

They are Burma made. I have a pair and I know of another in Oz.
