Hi A

Hi Graham,

You are probably right. A squirrel has made a mess here

I will take the badge out of the table. Thank you for checking it out.

Cheers,

A.

Dear all,

Sorted and in the box now. Mostly post-independence, including Pakistani badges, but still ok:



Cheers,

AATTV,
I think the eagle badge on the lt blue backing, next to the Indian National Cadet Corps (NCC) wings. is an old South African Air Force officer's cap badge.

The badges with the red, yellow and blue wings were the jump indicator badges denoting 25, 50 and 100 jumps respectively. They've been replaced by a golden parachute with wings with one, two or three stars denoting the same number of jumps.
