Guys, this is great. It's a "Jump Badge Clinic". Thanks for the opportunity to learn.

Thanks again!

Willi,

I think you have "cornered" the marked. Very, very, nice badges

Here's one more for the database.

Thanks,
Tony

Tony, no cornering of the market here. These badges are not rare at all, plenty around at the larger shows. And, I know others that have quite a few as well. Will post some more over the next few days.

Here is another.....

My one and only badge:
Came from a Rgt3 POW who married an English girl after the war.

Removed from tunic. Used as a bookmark post-war.

My only cloth contribution. Most of mine are Tombac, Sorry!

A '43 version cloth.

Here is one from the Raleigh show. Except for the backing, it is identical to the badge in post #3. Really like the woven base with the subdued wreath; very late war.

Reverse.

John, that one is a killer! Superb!

Some nice cloth Heer badges being presented.

Hi Willi,

Here is another with a subdued wreath and also on a woven background. This badge is very similar to the example in post 11. The badge in post 11 is padded, this one is not padded.

1. A beautiful example in which the backing is more charcoal than blue-grey, and the eagle is more lemon yellow than gold.

Interesting reverse of "charcoal" backed badge.

Reverse of last subdued badge, with some insect damage to the second backing layer.

John, the back of that charcol one is very unique.

Here is the back of the one featured on the left of post #43. I have always liked this variation.

I just noticed I have a woven subdued one as well. Don't you just hate when you ddon't know what you have???
