Para wings

The Wings are Bell Trading Post.  Also, when I look for WW2 Paratrooper Badges, I look to acquire solid back wings that I feel are early to mid WW2. The hollow back wings are at best late WW2 and into the post war period. This is especially true with Bell Trading Post.

Persian,

 

Where does the information come from about solid and hollow backs?

Antidotal, from various discussions over the years and personal observations of hallmarked badges. For example BB&B are always solid backed.
