Default Canadian Parachute Wing

Hello Gents,

I've attached a photo of a para wing I've just received and would like to confirm the era that this wing was worn. I've looked through Ken's book and it looks like a Type 4 but would appreciate any thoughts?

Thanks for your help

Paul

I am thinking 1950's but the maple leaf looks a little off.

Hello Tanker Mike and thanks for your reply. The wing is certainly a bit of a puzzle and I believe it's from the 50's and has been on a uniform at some stage. The Maple Leaf on the bottom right hand side is shorter than the others giving it a funny look.

Thanks for your help

Paul
