Default Bullion Pegasus badges and parachute wings

With time off during the current crisis I have come across some interesting badges tucked away in the loft. I have been trying to find similar badges to these on this Forum but have been unable. They look good to me but I am more of a Jack of all trades and master of none.

Default Indian made

The wings are wartime Indian made and very desirable. If the Pegasus badges came with them, then they're privately purchased for best uniform. They're not like any UKmade ones I've seen. They do look like they have a fair bit of age. Are the loose threads of corner popperfixings or have they been sewn to a uniform?
Very nice badges.

Hello. I purchased them some time ago they came with a partial medal ribbon bar which had ribbon for the Burma Star and a GSM. The previous owner had removed them from a moth eaten Captains tunic. They had been sewn onto the uniform (no poppers)

They sure are! Luckily I don't collect these, but those are rather special.
