A perspective new member sent me these photos of his WH para badge. These are not my area, so I throw it out to the experts here. He and I thank you in advance.

Greetings Jeff,
Heer Para's can be tricky for sure with so many well done fakes. I don't care for this example; the points that jump off the page for me when I first looked at it were the catch, rivets, wings on the national eagle ( looks like batman wings from the reverse), makers mark, finish.Well ........
I guess I see alot that I don't care for.
Cheers,
Joe

Hi Jeff,
As the others pointed out, nothing ok there. The totally wrong eagle´s head (on the diving eagle) is also another good reference point to easily detect this type fake.Cheers, Frank

I am not a collector of these and I suspected as well. Thanks for the help. I willl encourage my friend to join up. When I first joined, I shed a lot of tears on my fakes, but now am much wiser.
