Default Printed SAS wings

Out of interest did anyone see how much the printed pair of WW2 SAS wings sold for in the badge auction last week ? While I do know that there is some correspondence in the National Archives to say that one was possibly produced there is nothing to compare the one that was up for sale with so it may or may not be the real deal.
It would be nice to know if another one has ever been seen or not. Does anyone know?

I didn't see the final price but when I last viewed the auction it was over 1k. I hadn't come across a printed SAS wing until I saw this auction. I do have a printed parachute wing that is similiar to the SAS wing but have yet to see photgraphic evidence of either SAS or parachute wing being worn.

Default Printed SAS wings

I have been told that they sold for nearly £5,000 which suprised me. Would it be possible to post an image of your printed para wing as it would be interesting to see if it is the same material as printed shoulder titles.
Cheers

Hello All
I believe the final price was £4,834.00 - Acquired by a well respected member of our Forum I think. I hope my information is correct.
Regards
Mike
