Luftwaffe Misc Insignia

[Paul R]

The following insignia is included in the deal with the LW tabs and boards I have posted. I have never delt with these items before, yet they seem good when compared to the items for sale on some of the big vendor sites.

I do have my doubts about the Fallschirmjager cloth badge and the Breast Eagle...

Thank you for looking

These bit and pieces look ok, Paul. The officer's breast eagle is very nice.

Let's have a closeup reverse shot of the para badge.

Thanks for your respected analysis! I will have to wait to post the pic when the items arrive(part of the lot the tabs and boards came in). From what you see of the front, does the FJ look ok?

How long does it take for items to arrive from the UK? They were posted yesterday. I dont know how she sent them(priority, air, or frieght).

I've no issues with the breast eagle also..

The para might be good,weaving is tight and backing is felt,good signs for a late example..

Let's wait for the pics.

Nice group of badges sofar.

As stated in my other threads tonight, I received a large lot of LW insignia today. Here are some better scans of the items I posted earlier.

The Fallschirmjager badge in cloth has it's own thread now.

Thank you for your expertice, Jos!

I am especially in shock over the LW Oberschutz pip! Have you ever seen one of these on a tunic?
