What that can be: Indian Para?
Here is a badge I know nothing about except it is quite big with a 105mm width and 45mm height.
New condition, the blue shows some white. Any idea? IMG_3074.jpg IMG_3075.jpg

My comment is that it looks brand new, so 2 options spring to mind.
1. Its what the Indian Army wear now? Dont know. 2. Its a blatent copy of a WW2 badge. regards

Para Badge
Good day,
I'm more inclined to think it is Pakistan Army. All my reference material shows the Pakistani para quals as being oversize in relation to the Brit qual. The Indian para qual is roughly the same size as the Brit one. Pakistani para quals originally were embroidered on khaki but later were embroidered on black. Hope this gives you an avenue to explore for an answer. Good luck. Ian
