Description: This embroidered military insignia is a Canadian Army Mess Dress Parachutist Qualification Badge variant. The insignia features a vibrant yellow-gold parachute canopy deployed at the absolute center. It is flanked by outstretched, stylized wings rendered in alternating rows of light blue and white thread. The entire embroidered design is set against a vibrant scarlet-red felt backing material cut closely to the shape of the wings. This specific coloration and backing were designed to harmonize perfectly with the dress uniform lapels and mess jackets worn during formal military events and social gatherings.

Circa: 1968-1980s
