Default Army Parachute Jump Instructor Wings

A pair of Assistant Parachute Jump Instructor wings that have come in a mixed lot of other formation and trade signs. Is it any good? Possible vintage? Thank you so much in advance for your advise, gentlemen!

You're welcome. The Rhodies copied the British one but never used it because they never created the position. They created Despatchers instead.

I guess that the wings can be of any age, since the 40s until nowadays?
