Picked these up today.

4 tri crowns

4 large buttons

6 small buttons

2 collar insignias

 

And cut off insignia.

 

What era are these?

Unusual?

Aren't these British paratrooper wings? The Hermes button and (beret) badge remind me on British signal corps insignia as well.

The cap badge and buttons are for the British Royal Signal Corps. The parachute brevet appears to be a standard British army parachute brevet- post WWII.

 

I don't see anything that would lead me to the conclusion that these are Australian or New Zealand.

Yeah I agree all British, Australian wings from the 60s and 70s were similar but different? If you get my drift.
