I used to like these case but after looked at them more closely im not a fan of them anymore and I dont think they are good. The construction is different and the inside material Is different from any other case. Here a link here and do your own conclusion:

Insert looks like it's cut for a GWL hinge.

Photo of insert underneath might tell all.

Hi guys,

Isn't this the "brain" or "fingerprint" case? I know of at least 2 that have come out of Para groupings from the vet, for whatever that is worth.

This PO case looks OK to me, and I like the look of the old glue.

Interior looks reasonable to me too.

I have spoken with some collectors about this type and here the opinions of the collectors are different!


I like only the velvet of the lower inlet and can only repeat my text and opinoin from the other post here:


''I personally do not like these cases, at the first view they looks promising and it is difficult to explain and meeds experience with other original cases, but if you hold such a case in hand you can feel that something is not correct of my feeling!

They used a very identical velvet for the inlet and it looks at the first moment like a brain pattern Case (but it is not a brain pattern).

The material outside and the Cardboard looks rather new as old and the cardboard for the Inlet is the typical material from the fake cases!

Also the cloth for the inner upper lid is in my opinion the typical fake material just like the the different pushers that were used!

I also noticed that this type of Cases are offered sometimes on ebay and 321, from curious sellers with best stories?

It's all just my opinion and maybe I'm wrong but I do not want such a case in my collection.''



Everyone here should probably decide for themselves whether he likes it or not and would like to place it in the collection!

I'm looking forward to more opinions!

here are also the pics from the other post of the same type case just for Air Gunner!

I can only echo Silver here... Here's some case identical. Also, With this type of case you don't have the UND or U. on the typography witch ALL other PO cases do have.

And here pictures from an ebay or a 321 seller (I do not remember exactly)! Same Case just for a Para.

They always use the Same Size for Case and cut on the Inlet what is also strange!!!

Does the outer material have that rubbery feel to it? That's a question for Silver and Seba...

A couple of years ago I had an exact type PB case in hand didn't like it. The interior construction bothered me. It didn't match any other Luft aircrew badge case I'd seen.
Wolf, at this point, I'm not sure I'd buy it.

Does the outer material have that rubbery feel to it? That's a question for Silver and Seba...

Hard for me to say in words.....it feels a bit soft, and yes a bit like soft rubber!

It does not have that typical Strucktur and does not have that typical quality you would expect if you hold such a case in hands!

I think we are getting here no final result at the moment, therefore everyone must decide themselves but my decision is clear: I do not like!!

Funny, here a current para example expired ebay auction for 55 EUR on 05/08/2014 (I hope the link works):

Several people whose instincts I totally respect and trust. I wouldn't want one of these.
