The same pattern has been used for a very long time. Once the badge has been worn and washed a few times, I doubt anyone can say for certain when it was issued, unless it is obtained from the QM or a wearer.

I am sure someone will disagree.

This is a British Army one.

Thanks Mark it came along with lots of badges that look like it was a foot Guards (I think that's right Regiment) theres warrant Officers badges and wrist badges too would it be something to do with the foot Guards?

Yes, if the owner had been entitled to wear the wings by qualifying for and serving in the SAS.

If your wing is for the Australian SASR it is the obsolete pattern.

In my opinion it is a British wing pattern worn from the 60's on. The black backing cloth is missing revealing the inner padding.
It may also have been worn by the NZ SAS but not the Australian SAS.
