Default Some SAS & Para wings
Hi All
I recently got these wings. Can anyone confirm if they are original? Picked up in South Africa so quite possibly Rhodesian.
Thanks, cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex

My notes indicate the woven wing on khaki is Aussie para wings c 1980's worn by 6RAR Para Company.

Wings #4 appear to be an early WW2 British made example.

Default Padded Wings
Agreed with Luc: padded private purchase wings designed for officers.DSC_0153.jpg

Wow, thanks, that is good to know.
Can anyone comment on the SAS wings? A friend though the cloth example may be an early Rhodesia Malayan period example.
Thanks again, cheers,
Alex
