A few SF badges to ask about

Picked these up today with some other badges that I wanted.

Firstly are they original?

Secondly what dates? WW2 or current etc.

The SAS wings, the glider pilot wings and the Para wings are deeply padded.

I probably will sell the majority.

the top left SAS wings are fairly modern issue, last 20 years give or take, hard to say on the beret badge without a close up but also probably fairly modern. I don't like the thick rope rigging on the para badge but the style is WWII period. The light bulbs are perhaps post war certainly I think the bullion is.

To me all the above 5 badges appear to be good WW2 versions, but, I am not an expert.

Age of insignia
 
Hi Simon,
Imo i think the top SAS wing of original photo is more likely late 60s -70s. Still nice
The wire wing i like it, dont have that pattern, but not sure if Brit SAS tbh. I await others opinions.
Para wing ww2 - 50s. Ive a couple.
Sas cap badge i reckon a nice 50-60s.
Thought ww2, but not 100% sure of the back mate.
Again happy to be proved wrong.
Kind regards
Jon
