A German Second War Army Paratrooper Badge.
A late war production of the Army Paratrooper badge in zinc with sheet metal hinge and flat wire catch. Although these badges are unmarked they are presumed world-wide to be produced by the Company of Friedrich Linden. This example has the identical characteristics of the accepted Friedrich Linden produced badges. All of the gilt to the wreath has disappeared with just a very slight hue of gilt showing amongst the lower field of the oak leaves. Slight silvering showing to the diving eagle within the lower section of the upper wing and around the neck of the eagle. Complete with its catch hook and pin assembly. A rare badge,
good very fine £800-£1,200
