W. German Para Beret Badge
Good day Billy,
Assuming that the date on the tag is the date of manufacture, you will want the metal version that has the German National flag (black, red, yellow) at the base of the wreath. This flag was added to German beret badges in 1979.
Showing the examples I have in my collection. First is pre-79, second is post-79.
