A couple of salty examples; these saw their share of jumps.

An oddity - I've never been able to determine why the wreath on this set of wings was rendered in olive. A foreign copy gone awry?Comment

TJ,
Great collection of wings. Excellent reference material. Especially since Pugh's book is all black and white poor photocopies. Many years of diligent work here. Congratulations on putting together such an excallent example of BRD para wings and for taking the time to share.
Regards,

Hello,
zu 4#
I am pretty sure from the first model of the West German paratroopers had no navy pieces. therefore not in gold.
The cloth badge of the first models in a herringbone pattern suit was worn in the workplace. But only very briefly halt.

I hope other forum members will share some of their examples and help us understand why the design changed so often.
All the best - TJComment

First Speedy Top and now Uncle Kurt give a thumbs down to the gold (Naval Version) of the 57-58 model badge. I've never actually seen a golden pair, has any one else? It's not looking good for Harry Pugh on this one...

Yes, Sorry
The only it could have been wearing the Kampfschwimmer.
But they are only on 1 August 1958 has been set up.
therefore there is not the first model in gold.Comment

TJ and Gordon, Thanks for your posts. Just wanted to check since there was a HALO/HAHO badge designed for GSG-9.

Ralph,
If you have a copy, or even a picture, of the GSG9 HALO badge why not start a thread on GSG9 badges, para or otherwise, and see what the forum can find along this line.

Hey Gordon - I for sure maybe wrong, but the GSG-9 patch appears to look like free fall parachute. It looks like a square chute design...but for sure I might be wrong and the chute might not be designed for free fall.
I stand by for any corrections if needed to my post...

Gents - Examples of the 1966-1983 version (H. Pugh) of the Bundesmarine's Kampfschwimmer (Combat Swimmer) badge with gold, silver and bronze wreaths as referred to by Uncle Kurt.
