Subdued Airborne Master Parachutist jump wings metal badge B&T 42 KREW GI maker

Description

These are old original
Combat
Subdued
Master Parachutist Wings of the United States Army.
Master parachutist is the highest rating of static line parachutist.  These wings are hallmarked KREW GI.   These wings are designed for wear on the combat uniform and are black to prevent glare from a shiny badge. The star and wreath above the canopy indicates that the wearer is an expert paratrooper who has successfully completed Jumpmaster School, has a minimum of three years on jump status with an operational airborne unit and has a minimum of 65 parachute jumps from an aircraft in flight.
Very few of these are made available to the average collector. The badge comes with two brass clutches.
These wings are like those illustrated in the Bragg and Turner book,
PARACHUTE WINGS
as B&T 42, except this is the subdued metal version.  This badge is 100% authentic and was obtained from U.S. military sources.    As with all my auctions, If for any reason you are not satisfied, you may return them within 14 days for a full refund. See Photos. A nice addition to any parachute wing collection. See my other auctions for more parachute wings and elite unit memorabilia.   I will be listing a large collection of parachute wings on eBay, so if you are a parachute badge collector, check back often to see what is available.

AIRBORNE!
With the recent huge increase in U.S. postal rates and requirement for delivery confirmation tracking, we have had to increase the shipping costs for both domestic and overseas mailings.
Additionally the cost of International mail has more than doubled so we may soon have to cease mailing items outside the U.S.
Thank you for understanding.
