Full Description
The Fallschirmschützenabzeichen des Heeres or Army Parachutists’ Badge was reinstated in Finzink in 1943 for the newly formed army/SS FJ units.This one is made by "A.G.M.u.K.-Gaablonz" which is Arbeitsgemeinschaft Metal und Kunststoff. It is marked amd finzink. All original and rare.
Let"s first start off with a question, why are so many WARTIME ARMY PARACHUTISTS’ badges available and selling for $350.00 or less? Well it is quite obvious they are reproductions, and unfortunately, there are not as many of the original ones around for you to compare prices. If you recently purchased one below this price, well, I feel sorry for you. The WARTIME ARMY PARACHUTISTS’ Badge is widely reproduced these days with great detail.
With the new production techniques available such as: lasers cutting out the dies from originals, and correct matching pins and catches being created, new finishes available, and the endless improvements that these reproduction manufacturers are employing, most new collectors are doomed to make some mistakes. This will not be on of them..
A few of the reproductions are almost perfect, but the reproduction artists still have not found out everything. It takes experience, knowledge and years of collecting to know what is real.
I cannot possibly and will not compete with the reproduction prices. The authentic Third Reich badges are priced much higher than the reproductions. And real ones are the only good investment.
If you were to look at my track record for selling badges on ebay, you would notice that I have not sold the duplicate to this one over & over I can’t because I only have one as a rule.
Here is a real one . With a beautiful fire gilded Gold, silver metal colored obverse with the straight tapered pin and "A.G.M.u.K.-Gaablonz" maker marked reverse. All correct and textbook.
Never has been in a collectors hands and never been cleaned.
It is a very high quality badge and the finish is almost all present, and has tarnished through out the last 60 years. If you are the high bidder you could clean the badge, but remember there is no way to put the tarnish back on the badge. This badge has a look to it as it stands. It just talks to you. It would be a shame to clean it, since it has great detail. The only reason why it has great detail is because it has never been polished, all the brilliant high lights have not been taken down by polishing.
This is a late war badge!!! This is a late high quality Die Forged finzink badge with a fire gilded finish!!!! .
This is a direct veteran purchase!!
