They are Freefall wings and came in basic, senior and master. I think they were approved at 18th ABN CORPS level and were not approved by the Institute of Hearldy. The same set exists for the 18th CORPS except for the change in patches.

If I could dig deep enough in my pile of stuff I could probably give pretty accurate dates but I don't know exactly where to start digging. So best guess is they came into being in the late 70's or early 80's and were probably used until the authorized HALO wing was approved.

I remember those when I was in the 82nd, 1979-86 they were for the 82nd sport parachute club and not a military badge, they were not authorized for wear on the uniform.
