A nice and un-issued late war parachute qualification wing

This is a good example of a nice and un-issued late war parachute qualification wing. The parachute qualification wing was introduced in early 1941 for everyone who had passed the Parachute Training school located at Ringway near Manchester Airport. These wings came in different shapes and sizes. The parachute qualification wing was issued after the soldier had qualified for them after 8 jumps. 2 from a balloon and 6 from a aircraft. This wing is in a nicely un-issued condition with some small moth nips (see photo) and is priced accordingly.
