Good afternoon

What do people think of these para badges? Do they look original? The second one appears to be plated and the third is a collar dog.

Many thanks

Martyn

Better pictures I hope. The first one is plated, second unplated and the third the collar dog.

Hello Martyn,
I'm always hesitant to render absolute judgement, particularly regarding WWII Parachute Regiment cap badges, but I am more than happy to provide with the following guidance I've been able to develop over time; http://arnhemjim.blogspot.com/2011/0...cap-badge.html . I hope it may prove of some assistance.

Having read the blog, which is excellent and really well presented, I'm still unsure about my badges. I am less happy about the collar dog.

I don't know if it means anything but my plated badge as a voided crown.

Out of interest, why are you unhappy with the collar?

Just from the photographs, I would say that all three are original.
