Finnish Para insignia

Hey all, again..

My luck is holding well.

Acquired these beautiful Finnish Insignia this week. 

Beautiful! What do the different colors of jump wings represent - number of jumps?

I believe they represent Basic (copper), Senior ( silver), Master ( gold)

Hey Sal,

WOW and wow:shock:   nice set of para you got. Best regards,Vitalis

Hey Vitalis,

Hope all went well in Kentucky ....

Thanks for your input, been after these insignia ever since I saw your beret with the Para badge..

So I guess it was you who inspired me to get off my duff to search for it.

I was extremely fortunate....

Thanks again, be well, Sal..

wow Sal that is nice

Thanks Graham,

I am still pinching myself..

Very nice collection!

Regarding the wings, as far as I know they go like this:

Bronze: 5 jumps, this is the common one issued to conscripts of the LJK.
Silver: 35 jumps, now this takes some time.
Gold: 150 jumps, not many of these around.

You're just missing the new subdued patch worn with the M05 uniform, I think I saw one for sale on ebay.de some time ago...

Hey Stepi,

Thanks for your comments, and the info  on the Para wings...

Will check out ebay.de right now...

 Thanks for the tip...
