    The top badge, metal para wings, is awarded to foreign military personnel completing the Bundeswehr fallschirmjaeger jump course. It's a metal version of the post 1965 Bundeswehr jump badge, which is normally woven or embroidered.

      Okay, so the big winged badge is from Bundeswehr fallschirmjaeger, thanks for information.

        These're what I have found out so far.

        The one with railway and diving eagle is from 7./KG1.


        One on the far right is from Nachtjagdgeschwader 2.


        And for the eagle insignia in the bottom.

          The NJG pin is a postwar version.

            Yes it seems so.

            Any idea on other ones?

            On the left is the pin for 4. Fallschirmjäger-Division if I remember.

              The Blue Badge with the Comet is from the Veterans Association of the Parachute Storm Regiment.
              The paratrooper badge of the Federal Republic of Germany is a shopping badge of the company KALKA which everyone could buy and was able to react.
              about 70s

                The 4. Fallschirmjäger-Division pin with comet was issued after the war right?
