wings for ID

[collector22]

hi guys,i got these wings from a friend whilst in the US.Can anyone identify them.They do not glow under UV and all three different threads burn like cotton i.e. natural thread and not synthetic.Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,Steve.

I would say your wing is Australian army. It is identical to one I brought in a cash sales office at an Australian army base in the mid-80s. Don't remember the name of the base...

Believe it was Lavarack Barracks near Townsville, Queensland.

Awesome display, Peter, and most useful information.
An example of the beVo SAS wing was also among the items acquired that day at Lavarack Barracks...

Thanks. There are two SAS wings. As you can see in the photo one is larger than the other and is quite hard to find.
