The INDIANA JONES OF EBAY does it again !!...........I have managed to  purchase  THREE militaria collections.....&  TWO Police collections.....mainly patches, badges,insignia & headgear.

One of the main collection of patches & insignia, is a real treasure trove......I showed samples from it to one dealer who wanted to buy the entire collection...but I would rather let YOU the collectors have a chance than him  obtain them solely for profit.

The origianal owner  collected  some  older RARER patches...and also   filled the gaps of 'difficult / impossible to find 'items with good reproduction patches. I am Not an expert...........so this collection of  patches will be listed as low priced NO reserve........there are genuine and some good repros...I am not sure which is which....come on bag  a bargain.............any q's please email me.

DO NOT MISS OUT

NO RESERVE

This item is  a SINGLE  of  cloth  WINGED SHAPED patch  showing a SKYBLUE   wings WHITE parachute on an OLIVE   background - earlier 'Felt'  NON-plastic backed

I understand these are the  original 'issue' Para wings...the subsequent black on olive, DPM CAMO, Desert etc being the subsequent but these being the initial  'qualifying issue wings' .I am sure that you experts can  correct me or supply other details.

This is in UNISSUED condition .

 Please note MOD Issue, NOT a Far East copy.

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom's military has a number of  versions of parachute qualification badges:

 (1) Parachute Jump Instructor;

(2) Parachute Badge with Wings, and

(3) Parachute Badge without Wings.

(4)The parachutists badges for qualified personnel of the SAS and SBS are of different designs.

The Parachute Badge with Wings insignia is earned by completing 7 descents + 1 night descent on the Basic Parachute Course and subsequent service in a Parachute

. Prior to this course soldiers must complete and pass a recognised arduous training course, such as:

• Pre Parachute Selection

• UKSF Aptitude (Hills)

• The Commando Course

• Pathfinder Cadre

Those who do not serve with a parachute unit are permitted to wear the Parachute Badge without Wings, colloquially known as the 'Lightbulb'
