Yannis,

You have a very nice collection of TOGO parachute badges. I will add my collection below. I believe that DRAGO and  Arthrus Bertrand made most of mine also. I do have one odd badge that has a chain on it possibly for wear on formal occasions. It has a mark on the back that I cannot make out. Have you ever run across this badge?  By the way it is good to meet another world wide parachute badge collector. Welcome aboard mate.

G'day triplecanopy !

 

Thank you very much for your kind words! Your Toga multi-piece Parachute wings is a real beauty!! I haven't seen anything like this one. I will ask around, and I will let you know if I find something about this beauty!

I have been collecting worldwide parachute wings (and SF patches/badges and equipment) since 1994, but I have not been able to put everything in a proper order. Everything lives mixed in boxes, but I am planning to build a small room in the backyard and properly display my collection... it is a big mess as we speak and very hard to find something. I will try to post a few more worldwide parachute wings, using old photos from my collection database (I have OCD, and I have photographed/catalogued almost 95% of my entire collection). Great to talk to you! Have a great Friday !
