Osang Fallschirmjaeger abzeichen pin type(s)

[J.von Canon]

Hello Frank;
I am talking about the pin,or needle, on the Osang badges.
In the book GERMAN PARATROOPERS by Kurtz(p.116)the author seems to indicate that (all)Osang jump badges had a rectangular pin in cross-section.I have an Osang badge that I'm 99% certain is wartime manufacture except that it has a round pin.Was the Osang Luftwaffe Parachutist badge,like some of the Wernstein Panzer badges,sometimes made with differing pins?Several images of Osang badges on the Forum seem to have round pins.
Dankeschoen. Joachim

All of the Osangs that I have seen on paratrooper badges have had the round wire pin type. This is differene for the Luft. specialty mission clasps. Most that I have seen there have been the Coke-bottle rectangular cross-section types.
