It's a nice collection do you have any RAN Wings? and are there many parachute trained soldiers in the reserve?

Nice collection Peter. Reference No 94, my coy comdr in 3RAR wore a set of those during 1976-78. He was ex-AATTV and I always assumed he had had these made up for himself.

No 91 was also worn by some individuals during the late 1970s, in fact fairly common to my recollection. It was not available through the Q system but if they were unauthorised that would explain why.
