Default Original WWII British Parachute Qualification Wings.

I'm not in the habit of making threads or posting across the Atlantic Ocean of BCBF, whoever I would like to bring this to your attention.

On ebay up on the blocks are a Second World War British Wings, and by the looks of them in great shape.

I'm only an expert on Canadian Wings, whoever from what I've seen on British wings they look real to Moi, whoever I could be wrong.

The Real Deal ?

Hi, it's also slang in Poznam, a Polish town which had a large pre-war jewish( yidish speaking) population. Much of their dialect( slang) is yidish in orgin and virtually unintelligible to the rest of Poland, Mike

Hi Mr Luc, I added that comment just in case since I'm no expert and have basic Knowledge on British Wings, to me they looked very real.

Like I stated a great example and in great condetion, I really like the Colour like New, just alerting the British Collectors of a good fined and worth Bidding on.

Best of Luck on you Listing Mr Luc.

I'd say mid-war ish and later. But I must admit that the time frame of para wings is a rather unexplored territory.
It is difficult to say anything about colours, they are all 65 years or more exposed to various conditions plus there were maker variations to start with.
