            These are very nice!


            I only have one set of Indochine era wings.
            Mine are circa 1952.

            I will add them to my "to photograph" pile.

              I will look forward to that

              Here is the reverse of the wings on the jacket I have already posted. I think I am probably the first person to have removed them in donkeys years.

              My good friend Herlé has educated me with these, nice first variant

                i would be honoured to see your Fathers photographs if you find the time to share them.

                Thanks for your kind words gentlemen!
                I promise I will but you gonna wait a few month: we don't live in the same area, I'll ask him next time I'll visit him and will post his full album. I always knew he was a vet but it's getting more obvious with time going and going.

                  Man, that's a lot of 5-digit wings! My pair is a 6-digit mid 50s drago, rue beranger marked.

                    Here are two badges that I picked up to display with the 8e R.P.I.Ma grouping. The losenge is the correct unit badge for 1960 - 62. Both are Drago marked examples.

                      The losenge that still maintains it's enameling That is verdigris on the dragon that is consistent with age.

                        I just received my 2nd para 47/56 model grouping today and it's pretty nice.

                        This one definitely saw some combat and has field modifications to the pants and jacket.

                            This is an odd one. This is from the large Indo FFL grouping. It is deceiving in that it is not the real Para document but is actually a small photograph of both the doc and the portrait picture measuring in at 7 x 11 cm's. I am assuming that this may have been the Legionnaires friend? It is period, based on the appearance of the paper, etc. Has anybody seen anything like this before or have any ideas?

                              I wanted to add some more of my Legion group to this thread but I haven't had time to place a signature on the pics. Anyway all pics are copyrighted to me and may not be reproduced without permission, etc, etc......
