Oriental - maybe Japanese? That could be a chrysanthemum in the centre.

Greg,
I would cast my vote for Basic qualification, Pakistani Special Service Group/Para Commando. However, could be a repro due to the lack of space between the cross-guard of the sword and the edges of the wings. See page 88, PARACHUTE WINGS, B.Bragg & R.Turner, Peter Heims Publications, Surrey, 1985, ISBN 0 9506426 2 2. Hope this helps.

Did a Google and you're spot on. Pakistan it is.
