Thanks Alex for mentioning this. I had my reservations on these too and also the bullion SAAF wing. It just does not look the part of a period bullion SAAF wing, especially with the 'manufacturing error' in the crest.
Also knowing how rare the Rhodesian pilot wings are, I would want those two cloth wings compared with known originals to see how they measure up.
