Default Para Wings

Hi All
Are these genuine or repros?
The top one is nicely padded.
Cheers,
Alex

Really? When and to whom were the DPM wings issued? They're new to me...

I agree with Royal - the DPM wings have never been issued or, in my experience, worn by any serving soldier/marine. Those wanting to wear a subdued set of wings can get black on olive green ‘shaped’ wings.
