Default Voided crown Para badge
Good morning,

I would appreciate your comments on this voided crown para badge.
Personally I haven't seen this type with the weird shroud lines before.

Regards,

Marinus

A genuine, scarce and very desirable variation. If you wish to part with it please let me know as I’m after one myself.

Luke,

Thank you again for sharing you knowledge.
Found it on eBay this morning and actually bought it after your reaction.

Best regards,

Marinus

Very well done. It’s a lovely badge and some dealers would have you part with £50 or more for the pleasure of owning oneZ

One sold on Ebay, in July, for £77 + £3 p&p.

Default Arrival
Gents,

The badge arrived today.
I've added it to my Parachute Regiment album for reference.

Regards,

Marinus

Default Parachute Regiment badge with "voided" crown
Gents,

Last year I've sold the badge mentioned in post #1 and #6 to a forum member.

For reference I've attached images from another one of the same pattern that I have.
