Croatian Paratrooper Badge....

[Rene Chavez]

Hi folks, Christmas came early I like to show my latest acquisition a very rare Croatian Paratrooper badge thanks to my friend Marko (known as magnusmilitaria). This is what the real badge should look like not like the cheaply made badge with the double flat prongs rumor to be made by producer (Sorlini -Varazdin). The original was only made by the Croatian maker Braca Knaus of Zagreb. This badge is very similar to the Croatian pilot badges and the quality is outstanding.
