Default Winged Dagger (Fashion Badge).

Not a fake or repro but this one may well turn up as a "what is it" thought to be military item.

Seen on an online advert for a range of civilian "combat style" jackets, looks like it may be velcro attached.

One of our local "fashion" designers bought up all the badges and medals (common stuff) from my fave junk shop and then put the designs on the fabric for her blouses, etc.

Didn't half get the ire of local veteran's groups....

It's going to confuse some collectors when those badges are eventually cut out of the old, worn out garments and start circulating on the collector's market - "Definitely service worn but which unit wore a blush pink shirt, and who wore taupe, and who wore emerald green chino?"
