bmsm Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 This is a Chinese made 2010, Special Forces Chest Wing made for the Iraqi's. It is 3-1/2 in. wide and 1-3/16 in. high. There are no markings on the reverse and it has the spring pin fastener. The parachute seems to be oversized compared to the wings. It almost makes it look "fat". Bob
