Oval is special forces, worn by every group except for the 10th I believe, and would likely date to early Vietnam era. I surmise the wings date to the same period seeing as they are sterling. Not sure what maker 3-21 would be. I believe Vanguard had a 21 in their later hallmarks.

Also the oval looks like it might be German made.

I read "S-21"

It was submitted by 77th SFG and approved for all SF in 1953, it was worn by all SF Groups (Ative Duty, USAR, & NG). 10th Groups red/green oval was approved in 52. Prior to 1993 the 3rd, 10th, 11th & 20th were the only groups authorized their own ovals.
