Bullion Para Wings - Opinions?
Ops! sorry gents I meant to drop this one in the Canadian section, (not enough coffee yet!) if moderator can move I would be grateful.
Hi Gents, Further to my earlier post in trying to help out a friend who has some items he is not sure about. I have images of three different bullion parachute wings. Here is the first set for opinion? Good, bad, period etc, etc ? Cheers, Roy.

Most bullion wings were tailor made examples, and thus a huge variety of patterns exist. It is very difficult to determine the authenticity of bullion wire due to their origins. This one looks okay.

Thanks for that Bill,
Good information. This may be the same answer but just to keep going ... Here is the second of the three wings. Cheers, Roy.

The second set of wings are post unification pattern. The wings date from after 1969. Red maple leaf indicated parachute qualified but had not served in an operational unit.
