Two Paratrooper badges

[Valentino]

Hello

My name is Valentino and I live in Germany near Dortmund. I am new to this forum.

Today I got photos of two paratrooperbadges . One is Zinc. The other is with maker mark Jmme & Sohn Berlin.

I have a german cross in gold ( I have 2 pieces) wich I want to change for this two badgeswith another guy. The german cross is in good condition with a light chip.
I never had a paratrooper badge and I am not sure if they are original.

Maybe you can help me? Are the two badges good ones?

Hi Valentino

Jmme is ok, but has a repaired hook.

Would like to see another view of the "so called unknown maker" badge (hook). Would not throw that one too fast in the garbage box.

Off to now.

Hi, i would like to see other shots of the hinge from the unknown zinc version. I dont have my files with me so i cant be 100% but the wreath and catch wire bend look very similar to the FLL attibuted pilots badges.
I didnt know FLL made paras but i certainly dont know it all
EDIT welcome to the forum Valentino

Can't tell for sure but that catch looks like ones found on late ASSMAN BADGES

OK, I try to get new pics from the hook of the zinc badge.

Hi,
Not sure what the condition of the DK is but it can't be a good swap for Valentino, shouldn't we be advising him a little better,DK imo is a lot more desirable than 2 para's not even 3 if you ask me but then again that's my opinion as i like DK better.
