    Ground assault badge and para badge

    Hello,
    I was offered these 2 badges, The seller has very nice original equipment items, but I'm less sure about the medals. What do you think?

    I still haven't got a ground assault badge, so I hope that atleast that one is original.

    Thanks!

      I can't say anything about the para badge, but I'm not a fan of that GAB, and wouldn't put it in my collection.... To the best of my knowledge GB LwGAB's should be one piece, IMO it's not a good one

        That para badge is a cast fake...

              That para badge is all over the map.Look at the swaz. It looks like the arms are different lengths. Bad sign.
              Sorry, agree with others .

                Hi Frank,

                I can only agree with the others. The para is a casting of an original IMME badge, but very soft in appearance compared to originals.

                If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

                  Also look at the pitting at the reverse of that para. Not good.

                    I indeed also found that suspicious. So much pitting at only those area's.
