Unknown Para Badge
 

Good Day All

Figured I would post this here rather than Canada Forum as I believe it MAY BE more European. My local Royal Can. Legion Branch recently received some memorabilia from the family of a deceased veteran and I have no idea which country it is from. It looks like a Polish para badge but not quite. Would appreciate and comments as to origin.

Thanks in advance

Jim,

I don't think it is Polish (though happy to be proved wrong). Design looks similar to some Italian badges, however I can find nothing like it my Italian para reference material. Also, I think it is more a unit badge rather than a para qual.

Thanks Ian and nomadalpha for your quick responses...much appreciated.

nomadalpha can you give me a time frame when this badge would have been used in Spain

Current tunic badge in BRIPAC (Spanish Para Bde).

Thanks Colin appreciate the quick response. nice to know (less embarrassing) what and where an item is from when you are going to have it displayed to the public...

Thanks again
