The aluminum example is the creame of the crop and looks to be in great condition. Hard to find these fully intact with no repairs at all, a keeper for sure.
The zinc Heer para is a later-wartime example (in my opinion), and likely made by FLL. It corresponds perfectly with other wartime FLL products and a few of these have been found directly from American vets. None have been found from German vets, so not everyone believes these are wartime badges. But I like them and personally, I like their eagle design and detail better than Juncker...
The Luftwaffe Para is a nice Deumer, a very desirable maker.

If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

Hi, the Deumer is in great condition, a real eye catcher.
Congratulations, I will have to pay a visit to France to try and find one!
Thanks for sharing - Greg
