There are several WW2 period black backed qual badges posted on a respected dealers website. The dealer noted that there some discussion on whether the badge was connected to 2 Commando or other Indian related parachute units.
I thought that would be a good discussion. I posted my black backed badge and another one on display at the Hartenstein Museum attributed to the 156 para.
I always thought that any Indian related/raised battalion could have worn them. The one in the Hartenstien shows that some para inprovised their insignia on their BDs.
Thoughts?
Note: I have not searched the WAF so this may be posted earlier.
