Default Unknown Wing

Good day Keith,

As airtrooper states, it is Belgian. Looks like silver bullion so would be a wing design produced for an NCO wearing the Belgian winter service dress in the 1970's. Gold bullion was for officers.

However, the design was so far from the regular designs of Belgian wings, that it was never adopted or authorised.

It also looks a bit like the Irish para wing. I have seen one in silver wire thread somewhere.

Cheers
