Hi Olof.
Thank you very much

I get some info from a moderator at the GCA forum about this Badge.

"Paratrooper badge is a perfectly good, wartime original by Steinhauer and Luck" Thanks Tom.

Hi LH,

I will go ahead and post my comment here too:

This paratrooper badge is a perfectly good, wartime original by Steinhauer and Luck. Typical textbook S&L construction, so no problems at all in my opinion with this one.

Nieman's price guide is a bit outdated if he feels that tombak and zinc badges fetch the same price. Zinkers usually run in the $600 - $900 range. You will be hard pressed to find a tombak one in good condition for less then $1,000, probably more in the $1,200 range.
