Note the GOLD one...

(Yes, it's probably a mistake).

That seller is me, and yes I was referring to the whitemetal para cap badge introduction in general.

Hi,

For your archives; a model that is modified to a brooch. It was worn (breast pocket) by the Captain on the picture.

I,m still learning about the Parachute Regiment also. If All Nickel was the First issue and Sterling Silver[hallmarked?] is issued to officers, does any know where I can get both? thanks

Hi, enjoyed this thread and decided to look at mine. Great thread, but couldn't make up my mind if these are good or not. Particularly the one bottom left. The one on the right is plated, even the lugs. Mike.

The plated one with the voided crown is an early one and good, the other two with the squarish feathers both look like 1980's copies to me.

The three badges are OK the plated one is a nice early one and the other two are probably 1944 period, I have a few of these types in my collection. I also have two on original red berets made exactly the same.

Hope this is of help to you.

Hi, many thanks, was getting worried there. I collect armour so WW11 fits in well. Thanks Mike.
