Parabadge, zinc round wreath.

[Peppe864]

Hi guys!

With all the copies of parabadges floating aroud I post this zincer, but I am used to the parabadges with a more oval wreath, not circular like the one posted.

What is the verdict?

Hi Peppe,

This is a good, late war FLL badge. For some reason, this is a consistent feature of these later-war FLL Para badges, they have more of a round wreath rather than oval. I think they started out oval shaped, but were squashed down for whatever reason. Because of this, they seem a little lopsided on the obverse and it makes them very hard to consistently measure. But a nice original nontheless IMO.

I agree with Tom - 100% original zinc FLL Para, squashed wreath and all!
