hi all
picked this lot up last night.
can i ask what period you think the wings are?
the bullion look to be queens crown? so assuming post 1953
i also think the 36 patch is the 36 transport squadron which was part of 91 Wing RAAF in Korea
so maybe the wings are post WW2?
of the cloth wings, the top and bottom wings are padded
the blue patch is silk and probably Japanese made. what is this patch anyway?
looking forward to your replies

Hi
Cloth wings lower WW2 into 1950s, bullion late 1950s early 60s at a push.

thanks Steve
I also found similar wings online at wings of the world showing all 3 examples of the cloth wing. dating them from WW2 and im guessing probably worn post for some time
I particularly like the 36 patch. meant nothing to me until you research and find out there was a 36 transport squadron which was part of 91 Wing RAAF in Korea. kinda fits in then
cheers
bc
