ww2 - Shoulder title

[grognard94]

Hi,
I think these titles were made during WW2.
What is your opinion ?
Once again thank you very much for your help

I think the Parachute Regiment title was introduced after the war.

The SAS title is WW2

I also think the SAS title is a good WW2 one.

I don't like the Depot badge

The blue on maroon Parachute Regiment title was introduced around 1950; during WWII the blue on maroon Parachute title or the dark blue on light blue Parachute Regiment title was worn.
See some examples for reference.

No worries at all on the 2nd SAS title mate

The 17th Meeting of the War Office Dress Committee held on 15th March 1949
approved light blue on maroon shoulder titles for the Parachute Regiment. The Proposed Dress Regulations for the Parachute Regiment dated 16th March 1949 in National Archives fileWO32/3559 stipulate the correct shoulder titles for the regiment as embroidered in Cambridge blue on maroon.

Interestingly the Dress Regulations specify printed Pegasus formation signs.

the Leo less Parachute Regiment cap badge in your album is cause for concern

[grognard94]

Hello,
Here's cap badge, it was recovered in the family of a veteran with two collar badges ..
So can you give me your opinion.
If it's a fake, it will be trashed.
Best regards

the general concensus regarding this example is associated with the following problem areas :

the die flaw, protuberance of metal commonly called " the blob " upper elbow ? left wing area, the top wing extensions , bits sticking out, left and right, the straight cut middle and lower wing fletching ( curved on your collars ), die flaw on lower rigging lines. I might add, please do not take my word for Gospel, but I am sure if you perform a forum search you will come across corroboration of these comments.

Hello Bernard,

Unfortunately, I agree with Silverwash comments for the capbadge...
For further informations, I have never seen yet french SAS wearing collars wings.
