6/19/24 – This is an original, late WW2 production Luftwaffe Paratrooper (Fallschirmjager) badge. The medal is 2-piece construction made from die cast Zinc. This example is featured in the resource book “German Luftwaffe & Heer Army Paratrooper badges of WWII 1936-45”. The book cites this example as a “Type J”, shown on pages 96 and 97. The book mentions vertical and horizontal lines surrounding the catch. These are raised seams, and evidence the reverse die was comprised of several pieces. These seams are found on this example as well, making this a “textbook” example. Great condition with a majority of the black/grey finish on the wreath still intact. The book calls this “brennlack” finish. The eagle has excellent detail, just some mild patina. Well marked on the reverse of the eagle, and has a “2” marking on the wreath. Functional pin and catch. All original and authentic.
