Default Voided Crown Parachute Regiment Badge

Hi all,

I recently picked this badge up and I wanted to verify that it's original.

I've checked it against the other threads on this forum and it looks good to me from what I've learned.

I've noticed that this one has brass peaking out under the plating here are there. Also, I'm not 100% sure, but I think nickle plated.

My understanding is this type is more than likely Wartime made opposed to the common types.

Thoughts?

Thank you for your help. I just realized that I accidentally posted this in the Canadian forum.

Maybe it can be moved?

Varies hugely. I’ve never paid more than £30 for this sort but I see some dealers asking up to £120.

In eBay auctions they often sell for £60 or slightly more when correctly described etc.

Thanks, yes I've seen them up to £135. I think on The Quartermaster's Store site !?
