Default Parachute Regiment
Apologies I should have an idea by now but I would appreciate opinions on the 2 Parachute Regiment badges in the pictures before disposing of them.

The top one appears to have been polished.

Thanks in advance.

P.B.

Peter,

the very polished top badge is from the Gaunt die, an over polished original IMO.

The bottom one appears to be the less well liked type but again is IMO an original.
