Two Para Wings
Regarding the two para quals on the right of the photo in the opening post. The top one is for female members of the forces of Singapore. It looks good to me.
The bottom one is from Belgium, that appeared in the 1970's. With the gold bullion, it was made for officers. The same design with silver bullion was for NCO's. The caveat for this one is that it was so different to the normal design of the Belgium para qual that it was not authorized for wear. So, while not an outright fake or repro, it is not official. I would keep it as on oddity.
Hope this helps.
