WWII? Canadian Para Insignia

[Allan H.]

I'm hoping for a little help on these pieces.
I am wanting to know if you gentlemen consider these to be of WWII vintage.
Thanks,
Allan

I probably should have shown the front first.

Hello Allan,

I would consider all three to be WW2 vintage but some better photos would be great just to be certain

The bottom one is one of the WW2 British prototype parachute qualification badges!? If it is real it is very, very rare

Has this insignia been offered to you?

Jack and Steve,
Thanks for the responses. I appreciate them. The pieces are in my possession, but I couldn't be sure they were undoubtedly wartime. They do not glow under UV light and are on the heavy wool and wool felt respectively.
The Parachute in wreath badge came to me as a "thank you" from a well respected Canadian Para Collector, but I wasn't sure if these wings were really wartime or a post war insignia.
I can post up a larger photo of the backside of the parachute cuff patch if you want more detail.

Hi Allan,

Is the bobbin thread white nylon or cotton?

Cheers, Guy.

It is all cotton. No nylon. Nothing glows or melts.

Hurrah!

Sounds like you've got a good un.

Yours, Guy.

The parachute in wreath is the Canadian Trade badge for a Rigger in grade 2.
