SAS and AAC wings, opinions wanted
These two arrive today as part of a large lot, can I have some opinions on date/authenticity? The AAC wings are 9,5 cm across.

The Army Flying Badge is an awful looking modern fake.

Id be happy with the SAS wing. Not seen this type before.

SAS wings are a close match in style for a 1950's pattern, I have a few pictures in my reference examples album.

Thanks guys! Yes the AAC does not have any age to it, I did not notice the two different crowns. Well spotted Marc. Was there at all a 9,5 cm bullion AAC wing, or is it a complete fantasy badge?
Jerry are you sure it is post-war? It appears to be identical to a wing I know from a wartime Belgian 5 SAS member. |

1950's SAS wing
I agree that a 1950's date is probable for this wing. A padded rather than flat profile is more usual though.
Best regards, Andy |

I posted it matches the style of a 1950's wing, I am not sure it is actually a period original, it doesn't look quite right.
