Army Para- Prices??

[skip]

Hi all,

today at a dealers I saw a second pattern Army Para in zinc. Fairly good condition, all the silver still on the eagle but the gold pretty dark from age, probably a 2 to 2- . The dealer wanted 1300Euro for it.
My question is: do you think this is a fair price for one of these?
How much would you yourself be willing to pay.

could do with some answers today as I am really thinking of buying it, but as you know things like this do not stay very long at a small dealers.

Thanks for any feedback. Skip

Hi Skip,

difficult without photos, but from your description, price is okay for me.

.......ORIGINAL PIECE ???

Hi Ivan,

ja, for me 100% original but condition not so good. I´m still thinking about it but it seems a lot of money in comparison to other badges.

Thanks, Skip

Hi Skip

Agree with IVAN, price looks ok. From what I knew (learn from other expert), the condition is not a major concern to the price of this type of badge, even it came with a repaired catch.

Hi Skip ,

Agreed with the others as Bryan said these are graded price points differntly then regular Luft. Badges. If original you can't really get hurt at that price.

Best,

conditions of zinc para -WH type are nearly ALWAYS not good, but I want to say to you more ==> if a zinc piece is looking too good c. I suspect it ! Much more possibilitys find alu type in good conditions, it has a different reaction material effect.

but I would like to see pics of it !
