Thank s John.
I've had it in my hands and it's a very nice piece. And the price seemed good, but I know nothing about the 'NO.2' example.
Cheers,
John

Guys,
I have been offered a nice FJ Assman Badge, second type, with the 'A' on the rear and the '2' on the rear of the wreath, for ?225.00.
Is it worth it, or not?
Cheers John.

Fascinating posts guys. I am a complete amateur on this , but still find it very interesting. I have a couple of FJ 'bits', ie FJ lid (Normandy Cam), Gravity knife, a couple of badges etc., which maybe I could put on...
Paddy, you sure you didn't serve in WW2 FJ??!!

John

I couldn't EVER enjoy this badge, without at least a photograph of the recipient wearing it. Certainly not at that price. The thing could have been any time in the last 60 years!!
Sorry guys,
regards, John

Interesting topic. The RN had a ferocious discipline system, and I'm surprised to see how far up the chain it went. I think 'Keel Hauling' was about the most horrific.

I wonder if 5 of them would have tipped the balance in Normandy 1944?
It would have been no match for a sherman!!

Really great post, chaps!! Fascinating stuff. I had no idea that guns of that size were ever mounted in forts.

Hi Mike,
Interesting and unusual post! Where were these chaps recruited from? Were they policemen, civilians or soldiers? Ans what happened to them at the end of the war?

The spike is marked , " R,B,NR." and underneath it "0/0561/0019".
Does anyone know who the maker is?
Thanks,
John.

I spoke to a German collector today who says each parachute had a booklet and control card, records kept of age, use, repairs etc. I am betting this was for that.
Interesting, I also recall that the drop containers were cylindrical in shape. Nice piece !! How much did you pay for it?
Regards,
John
