Airborne Arm title with curved ends

[Postwarden]

As a result of the posts on the Forum I bought a copy of Graeme Deeley's excellent book Never Not Ready; the History of RAF Regt Parachute Units 1942-2012. I would encourage anyone interested in both Airborne forces and the RAF to get a copy.

It starts with the parachute units raised by the Iraq Levies and includes a number of pictures showing their parachute detachment wearing wings and the Airborne arm title, the latter looking locally-made, having curved ends. I attach one of the images published in the book

Has anyone ever seen an example of this curved ended title and if so would they be willing to share an image with us?

Shoulder titles with rounded ends in general are a quite uncommon feature but these are the only examples of airborne titles that I know of.

I have had this one for a while, if I can find it I will do the back.

I have a similar title with provenance from a WW2 veteran. They are not scarce. I believe the object of this thread is more about locally-produced airborne curved titles which I’ve never encountered myself.
