Hello, I think this paratrooper wing is good.   I own a similar model with a curved back. Both the concave and flat versions were produced.   Best regards, Jo

The good thing is you have several other examples on the tunic to show you exactly how it was originally done. Dave

Hi Domatan, could you please show us pictures of your  home made "vengeur"? Thanks, Jm

I would add that to my O.P. if I could.   Thank you Salvage Sailor    

Nice score.  Not only a 'paratrooper' knife.  These were also standard USN issue in survival kits and life raft / lifeboat kits.

I plucked this out of an assorted knife box yesterday at the local military show. $20, I couldn't resist. Works just fine.

Grouping from one of his 1958 LTC fellow instructors.  This "blue flame" patch had been thought to be an 'error patch' by collectors but now we have two (2) examples from LTC instructor groupings that the blue flame version is period 1958 and correct for wear.   More confirmation that these are all blue circa 1958 USACG&SC instructor patches from a 2019 Bob Hudson posting.  It also has the DUI's and an honorary memento with the "Leavenworth Lamp".     -->>  Op Dragoon French Liaison - Berlin Brigade - WIA Korea   1955 - Commanding Officer 899th Tank Battalion, Germany / G 4 COMZ (US Army’s European logistical network), Orleans, France 1958 - Instructor, Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth 1961 - 3 May 61, Medical retirement
