Default A good badge for a change...
A plastic Canadian Para Corps badge, with pin. From what one can see it appears to be a good example, but the image leaves a lot to be desired.

The badge looks okay in the last photo but I can't make out any details at all from the first two. I would really like to see a good photo of the rear of this badge. In the last photo it appears that some of the letters are a bit mashed / imperfect but that is probably from use. Although it is not common at all, these plastic badges can be reproduced quite convincingly as well which is why I approach all of this 1 CPB stuff with caution now.

It's been a while since I've dealt with this seller but I always found him OK. Perhaps just the pictures. Ray

That's better... with the new photos it appears to be a good badge, and with the elusive pin to boot! I'm glad I already have one as I'm sure that this one is going to make the seller a small fortune.

Holidays?

Spooked collectors?

The badge sold under value, I was almost tempted to through a last moment bid on it.
