All are wartime Australian manufacture except for the top AG wing which is British pattern British made.

Alex is right on the money. Nice wings and all original. The titles are nice too. The British made half wings are not as common. Good find.

AG Wings
 
I suggest the middle AG wing is Canadian made Replacement type - melton is black rather than RAAF blue and the white "feathers" are in fact shorter than Australian made wings of the period.:mad:

thanks guys for the replies.
I am going to limit myself to only RAAF items and not other nations insignia eg RAF but worn by the RAAF.
hope this makes sense
