Default Sweetheart Parachute Regt

I have this Parachute Regt badge which has had a brooch clip added, probably to give to a lady. Would you leave it as it is or get it repaired?

This may end up among the classifieds as sweethearted badges are not really my thing.

Hello Rob

Personally I would leave it as it is, all part of the history of the badge!

Smile Parachute Regt

Roger, yes, I suppose it is part of it's history, although I would love to be able to put a name(s) to it, I may yet offer it for sale as I do have one in my collection given to me by the wife of a Para taken prisoner at Arnhem.

Agreed, I think it would be ruined by new lugs.

Smile Para sweetheart

Thanks for all the replies, I may offer this on the forum's classifieds as I said. I am having a bit of a sort out of badges at present, so there may be others as well.
