Original Vietnam War ARVN LLDB Master Jump Wings, embroidered, in-country Vietnamese made and uniform removed, with Oak Leaf Cluster Insignia.
The Lực Lượng Đặc Biệt Quân Lực Việt Nam Cộng Hòa (LLDB) were the elite Special Forces of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) during the Vietnam War. ARVN jump wings were originally modeled on French airborne wings (which were smaller than standard U.S. wings) and came in three distinct tiers: basic, senior, and master. Unlike U.S. master wings (which feature a star and a laurel wreath), ARVN master wings typically featured a palm or a distinct central device (such as a palm/wreath or specific insignia like a North Vietnam star on various pattern variations) affixed to the middle of the badge.
