Hi paul,

 

Thanks for posting these examples. I am not that well versed with the history of the Vietnamese Special Forces or the U.S. Special Forces and their operation during the war. If you have any photos S/SGT Gerardo wearing these or other wings it would be cool.

 

Cheers

here are 2 examples of US Forces wearing the Viet LLDB wings, I know I have more. these were awarded without actually jumping with the LLDB, although many did do some training jumps with the LLDB, and there were a few combat jumps, but most got the matching Viet wings, ie if you had master US wings you got Master Viet LLDB wings, many assigned to SOG got the Monitor wings, also know as SOG wings,

reviving a long dead thread but anyone seen LLDB wings like this before? are these a wartime variant? merrowed edge

Just a guess , these May have been worn on a black jump suit. Parachute instructors often worn black jump suits to distinguish themselves from students.

Bob, Nice RIGGER and RECON wings.

Cool thanks triple canopy, but is the construction style with the merrowed edge wartime construction you think?

Cheers

Wings look too modern for me. I don't like the merrow edge.
