I guess its suppose to be a tombak eagle on a zinc wreath,
but the whole thing looks suspicious to me.
I'll defer to the Para guys on authenticity.

bit of an odd one from those photos- can we get straight on shots?
with those rivits it should be a juncker but the wreath shape from those pics look FLL. I don't see any obvious signs of the catch having been on it which is a concern

[Thomas Durante]

Patrick seems to sum this one up pretty well, its an FLL and in my opinion a reproduction. The rivets are the first red flag, they are much smaller than what we find on original FLLs. This is a common aspect to these well made FLL fakes, here is another fake just like it.

The reverse hardware is also different than originals, and these are softer in appearance, likely because they are die cast and moulded from an original badge.
