Parachutist Badge

[Doug Kenwright]

Hi Deejay,

It is obvious that you have the same type badge as Eikop, Skip, Baldes and Willi, save for the flat wire catch, no big deal.

Cheers, Frank

here is one i picked up in a load of militaria recently.the original (postwar) owner states he paid 8 english pounds for this in 1976... it's coated in a heavy silver and gold brenlaq,which softens the features somewhat..the hinge and pin are different from ones posted previously,with a round wire catch..opinions?

How much would it cost today ? I think a bit more than 8 pounds.
