Assmann Para badge

[colin davie]

Hi guys,
I have a guy looking to buy this Assmann Para badge from me, but we're unsure on current value, anyone seen same type for sale lately?
I've had a quick cruise around some dealers, but none have an Assmann badge available. badge comes complete with Niemann guarantee certificate.
Any help as always very much appreciated.

Hello,

i would value it between 350-450 Euro.

Exceptional gold on the eagle. Really nice example. I would go for the high end of Heinrich******180;s estimate.

Hello,

for comparison, here's my mint example, 100%gold, most of the laquer of the wreath present......

this one was sold as a fake in 2005......

Thanks for the help so far, I paid 450 euros to Detlev for it a year ago, so would definetely go with the higher end of that estimate.
Cheers

Colin,

I've recently purchased two Assmann A/ L/64/ 2 Para Badges. Pretty much the same as yours, but maybe a 'tad' later production. Still the same badge as yours. Neither had anywhere near the gilting on the eagle, as yours does. I paid in the $500 - $600 price range. I haven't done the math Euro-Dollar conversion, but I would also go with the upper end of Heinrich******180;s estimate.

Nice badge. If your customer doesn't take it........... I'm next in line, please!!!

Mark, I have another A / L64 / 1 badge if you are interested.
Going by the calculator at Weitze I have paid $574 and $620 USdollars respectively.
The guy is mucking me around with the price, we all like a bargain but I at least expect to get my money back one and a half years up the line on a badge with a Detlev COA.
The L64 is pretty minty. If you are willing to give me my money back on the pair, then you are 1st in line if this guy doesn't come good.
Cheers for the help too.

L64 reverse.

[colin davie]

The "L" is missing on the photo above but is present and hidden by the pin.

There is also a dent next to the left hand rivet, where a hole was'nt punched through properly and has been re-done, hence the shadow next to the rivet.
Cheers again

Thats a very nice L/64 Para as well Colin.

Looks like Marks starting a hoard.

Skip,

he-he-he! Of course, weren't these L/64s supposed to be all post war? Just kidding; I'm a believer.
