Paratrooper badge

This is for sale at Finnish auction, starting at 450€.

I would appreciate your comments, which I would forward to possible buyers. Personally I do not like that one.

Agree with you Finn, would not buy it. You should post this on the Badge Forum as well. Those guys know all badges very well and can tell you more.

You beat me to it Jani! I was about to ask the same thing! Allthought I'm no expert I think it's a fake too.

Definately a repro Finn. The badge is cast and the eagle is badly offset to the left - the front wing and head would never break the outer edge of the wreath like that whereas the longest tailfeather
should always break the outer edge. Definately avoid this one.

Many Thanks

I have forwarded the information I have received here to public Q&A topic on the auction. I am sure somebody will save his moneys. Thanks for your help!
