Default Cdn Parachute Wing

Here is a really odd pattern of the Canadian Parachute qualification wing. The vendor is upfront about the listing.

When I looked at the wing I thought that it appeared to be of a German style. It may be German manufactured for German soldiers that received their Canadian para wings prior to unification. We know that this has been down with the current style of Canadian para wings by other countries for their soldiers qualified. Why not then? Just a thought....

Mr Bill I never seen This before, But 8Hussar makes a valid point.

I attached My 3 US Canadian wings from 70s and 80s Issued to Americans who have qualified in a Canadian Jump Course.

Now the picture of the 2 are the new version for all countries that qualified in a Canadian Jump Course.

If anybody on CWBF has Canadian wings 70 80 Style Completely Subdued Combat green Let me know
