British WW2 airborne cloth insignia ?

[jwp]

Hi, doing my usual trawl of the local collectables market today came across these airborne patches, they appear period to me and bought from a trusted scource, would appreciate you guys expert opinion on them, many thanks in anticipation,

If all is correct, you did very well, the early full Recon Corps title is rare, as is the Airborne title and the glider badge. the slit feather para wing is also very cool. Hard to be certain from your images but I think you chose wisely sir.

Let me now if you want to part with any of them assuming they are all good.

thanks Jerry, did a bit of research and it seems there was some good quality repros of this insigna produced in the 1970s so wondering if these may be those ? would be nice if they were period though !

I have one of these, in fact that is my one. I also have one of the Airborne strips.

I just checked in a reference book I have and you r Airborne title is an original thought to be a private purchase type.

The glider infantry badge is also good and the para wings, in fact I think all are good now I can see them on my laptop rather than my phone. the glider infantry badge is not quite an exact match for any of the variants I can look at but it has so many good features that it must be correct. The split feather para wing is a good one. the Recon Corps title is a cool early one. I only have the later type when they dropped corps from it. There almost endless variants of the later Recon title without the Corps in it.
