Padded para wings

[lnijherald]

Guys, here's a para wing that I recieved yesterday, and it is a bit strange!

It is very large: 9,5cm width from tip to tip, and 4cm height. And it is embroidered on serge rather than wool/felt.

Any thoughts about it?

Cheers, Luc

Hi Luc, I don't see any problem with them. Just a private purchase wing.

Cheers, Ade.

[lnijherald]

Thanks Ade, that would explain the slightly different design!

Cheers, Luc

Hello Luc, very nice wings!

There are hundreds of variations I reckon!

Thanks, from Jack.

[lnijherald]

Wow, Jack, I had no idea there were that many variations!

Would you say that a private purchase is more valuable than a regular one?

Cheers, Luc

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Luc, I think both are just as desirable and there does not seem to be much price difference between the two.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade!
So it seems I made a handsome deal swapping it for a fibre rim helmet dug up in Oosterbeek last week!

Very lucky you Luc!

I always tell Philip that I'd give him my right testicle to own one of those, seriously! Especially the one with the South Staffs markings!!! But I know that's never going to happen!!!!!

But I know that's never going to happen

Who needs a third testicle anyway?
