As s former collector of Parachute insignia I would not be happy with any of the insignia but the pegasus are guaranteed copies they are from the 1980's " Find " supposedly found in a loft at Cattrick cap.
They are really easy to spot as they are like paint printed if you bend them in half the blue pegasus starts to peel and even after they have been worked on they still retain a certain stiffness that is not found on originals .
As time permits I recommend you study every tbing u can on the prossess used to make printed insigia once you study this spoting fakes becomes so much easier.
an please dont read too much in to how the sloping weave on parachute jump wings defines them post war this is a dangerous path to follow I have seen many war time manufactured wings condemned as post war becaused of a slight angle to the feathers.
Despite what has been discussed on here using tbe angle of the feathers is not an acurate method of judging age of manufacture .
