57er Army Parachutist Badge

[BW-Sammler]

Hey guys,

this is one of my latest additions.

It´s a very early army para badge, which I was looking for years.

On the reverse are the initials "RL".
Maybe the first letter of the forename and the forst letter of last name of the paratrooper?

I hope you like it.

Regards,
Stefan
