An original embroidered cloth badge awarded to qualified parachute instructors serving with airborne elements of the South West African Territorial Force (SWATF). The badge features a stylised parachute canopy with outstretched wings, embroidered in black and bronze thread on an olive-drab background. Above the wings is the designation "INSTR", identifying the wearer as an instructor. This wing would have been worn on training or combat fatigues by senior airborne personnel responsible for parachute instruction, jumpmaster duties, and airborne training programs—primarily linked to units such as the SWAPBAT (South West Africa Parachute Battalion).
