Officers or NCO Para Badge?
Can any of the Parachute Regiment gurus confirm if this is an NCOs or officer’s badge please?
I’m leaning towards NCO but being a strictly other ranks collector I’m not 100% certain. It’s lovely quality and going by the colour and tarnish I believe either silver or silver plate, most probably the latter judging by the loops. Sadly no markings of any kind. Thanks. |

Luke, i knew a few blokes who had private purchase silver badges, not strictly an officer's thing. Your's however looks to have a bit of age to it, so possibly an officers. Thoughts for what its worth. Regards Mark

I would agree with Jack. A private purchase silver plated badge made by Gaunt.
Private purchase badges were not necessarily exclusive to officers particularly the plated version. See this other example for comparison https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...7&postcount=17 |

I don't think it would be unreasonable to refer to it as an officers badge.
