Hi friends

 

I suspect this is one of those metal tabs that were made for veterans for wear on caps shirts etc.. 1980's I suspect.

It is 2 1/5 inch x .5 inch.

 

Has anyone come across this before?

Unless there has been a drastic change, this would not be worn on a uniform. The winged parachute badge denotes individual airborne qualification. The "AIRORNE" is always part of a shoulder sleeve insignia or, in metal, a combat service insignia. Those individual skills shown by a tab have metal versions for uniform wear.
