I have a few berets and about three loose badges. Can't recall all the Hallmarks, some are Sterling, some SF,  but will get everything together and get some pics ASAP (Old photo)

Here are the wings that were on the scarlet beret.

Thanks for posting these pictures.  Just saw them and they are original South Vietnamese made SAR wings that were unauthorized insignia worn by US Army helicopter personnel.  There were a series of these wings made for radio operators, crew chiefs, medics, door gunners and flight engineer.   Below is a pair of Chief Engineer wings made the same way as your SAR wings.
