Looks U.S. made HBT. I'm just guessing, but is this a Philippino Jump Wing?

 

Thanks,

Bob Thanks!

 

Were these worn by Americans? I would think so, but I've never seen one on shirt/hat/uniform/etc.

 

Any guess on age? I'm thinking 1940s but I guess it could be later.

You will see these on Civic Action uniforms and Special Forces, esp. instructors at the SERE schools. On HBT like that they could have been worn up into the 60's. In some of the insignia shops I was buying out in the PI, as late as the 90's I was still finding these in old boxes.

Yep -- I just wasn't thinking clearly -- this would most likely be from the 60s.
