I believe the second patch from the top is an AA, and is the insignia of the Army 82nd Airborne division.

Simona,

Did your S30V Military come with the silver pocket clip? That seems unusual, because I thought they were always black now.

Wonderful work with the camera, once again...I do so enjoy your pictures.

Best wishes, Jeff/1911.

Hi Jeff, thanks ...

Simply, my obsession to silver clips is well known

I like the silver clips better too.I am about to bead blast the clip on my Starmate.

Simona,

I prefer the silver clips as well. They look more classy, don't you think?

Jeff.

The AA patch is for the 82nd Airborne Division (patch is upside down in the pic).

The other one is a French Airborne patch.

Simona,

Frank K and Fishbulb are right about the shoulder patches but the jacket is a multi-service flight jacket issued to Army and Air Force flight crew members (and maybe tank crews...I'm not sure). The rank insignia (the chevrons with the green star in the center) is that of an Air Force Senior Airman.

Good work as usual on the photos.

Stay safe! Stay sharp!

Oh so,it is upside down?...

Allright??

...but still i dont know, what is this gold plume with knife in the hand, anyone know please ???

If I remember I think that was some kind of symbol for mercenaries. Not really associated with a military unit. I do recall seeing a ring at a surplus store with that symbol and was simply called "The Mercenary Ring".
