Hi guy's, thanks for the explanation!! Thanks everyone!
First : I didn't know what it was
and second : I had no idea if it was war or post-war.
It looks like a badge not easy to find.

BP,
1 para does not exist anymore, disbanded some time ago.
They have merged with 3 para.

The early ones are indeed finer and have another canopy.
Nice example Stuart!!
