Default A few SF badges to ask about

Picked these up today with some other badges that I wanted.

Firstly are they original?

Secondly what dates? WW2 or current etc.

The SAS wings, the glider pilot wings and the Para wings are deeply padded.

I probably will sell the majority.

regards

the top left SAS wings are fairly modern issue, last 20 years give or take, hard to say on the beret badge without a close up but also probably fairly modern. I don't like the thick rope rigging on the para badge but the style is WWII period. The light bulbs are perhaps post war certainly I think the bullion is.
