FLL Heer para

[Patrick W]

Hi Guys

These photos are crap I'm afraid but this looks like it has potential to me. The cutout of the eagle looks like an original as compared to the Hero copy when viewed from the reverse. The hinge is obviously not as expected though? any thoughts appreciated

Thanks

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

A perfectly fine original FLL Heer Para badge in my opinion These differ a bit from the typical ones we see with the sheetmetal hinge, and I think the one you show is the earliest type (with block hinge). Also notice the shallower dive angle of the eagle compared to the later ones with the sheetmetal hinge.

A little tast of my upcoming Paratrooper Badge book

Thanks Tom and Andy for the opinions

Tom, great stuff as ever, I did a bit of digging and found this same type of hinge on a load of luft paras by this maker so I was guessing good.I will see if I can grab her.

Best
