Thanks T. I suspect it may be French Indo China as a result of a chat I had today with a French collector.

Parachute Badge
Good day Fred,
The second is obviously Airborne related. I believe it is either Swedish or Finnish. I am attaching a pic of badge of similar design, only it is smaller than yours. I believe mine was worn on a lanyard, so yours might be a collar badge. I acquired mine almost 40 years ago on UN duty. I'm leaning towards Swedish but I'm not 100% sure (call it about 75%). Hope this helps. Regards Ian B

I checked with a mate in Sweden, he says Swedish Fallskamsjagare shoulder badge, a larger version worn on the beret.
He thinks from the 1960's-70's "Difficult to get here and very popular to have among guys who havn’t done the military service!!" Last edited by leigh kitchen; 22-04-19 at 09:00 AM. |
