​
First Special Service Force Type 4 Arrow Head
WWII 1st Special Service Force Type 4 Patch. This variation first appears as the Devil's Brigade makes preparations to land on the Hyeres Islands off the Southern coast of France in August 1944.

This example has the requisite amount of "snow" white thread to the bobbin embroidery to guarantee it's wartime manufacture. Attached are some shots of FSSF soldiers clearly showing the unique shape. The first photo was taken in Southern France, and based on research by advanced collectors this variation does not appear until that time. *Sold*
​
Canadian Airborne Jump Wings
Original WWII Canadian airborne jump wings. This variation is the mid-war (late 1943) Type 1 Canadian Parachute Badge.

We had these wings inspected in hand by Ken Joyce, airborne insignia expert and author of "Into the Maelstrom; The 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion; history, insignia, uniforms" who confirmed for us its originality and type. Top condition, never applied to a uniform. *Sold*
