Default Bullion Para Wings on White Backing 24 X 45mm
Can anyone tell me what these "are" please?
I was given them in February 1986.
If genuine what would they be worn on?
The fabric doesn't appear to be of a suitable quality for Mess Dress.

I am not sure these are UK wings Leigh, perhaps Australian.

Ta, the combination just doesn't seem right, bullion on a white ribbed fabric.

Hi Leigh

Yes these are Australian wings. I think they are now obsolete but I might be wrong.
