Photos are way too small to give any real opinion, but looking at the reverse shot, it appears to have the dreaded "Dipping Wreath". based on these photos I wouldn't touch it.

From these pictures, it can be a good zinc Assmann IMO.

This badge resides in my brothers collection. We bought it from Ken in September and already discussed it using pics supplied by him. Why the need to discuss it again five months later after selling it to us?

Hi guys,

Based on these tiny pics, I think it is a good transitional Assmann. It would be good to see detailed shots of the hardware, but based on these pics I feel very good about this Para badge.

I feel very confident about it as well, especially once it was in hand. I will take my own set of pics and post them up. This was probably going to the estand soon, but will wait until this is resolved.

Hi Wyatt,

Nothing to resolve in my opinion, a perfectly textbook mid-war Assmann Para badge. For those with the Para badge book, this is the Type "G". Nice example Wyatt, with lots of original gold finish left on the eagle.

Original Assmann!

Thank you, Thomas and Lubo. I'm confident in my abilitys with most badges but I will always take the knowledge of the experts over my own.

Thanks again,

Dave Wyatt
