Early parachute qualification wings?
I recently found these wings in a parachute regiment battledress pocket, and seek opinions. They look legit to me, but I'm curious about when or where they might have been worn. I'm familiar with the black-backed Indian wings, and don't think these match, plus the owner of the blouse had no Indian unit service. The blouse is dated December 1943, and is missing the wings that were once attached. Is it possible that at that date the officer could have been wearing these wings?
Thanks in advance,
Burton
