Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger Abzeichen

Morning, Stan

what a superb group...Where on earth did you find it?

I take it that there are no documents? If not, thank goodness for the practice, by some, of personalizing their badges.

A great piece of history!

Thanks John.

It was posted on another forum by a German collector who had just bought it. I contacted him and a deal was done.

The great thing is the condition of everything which, except for the Ost medal, is virtually mint and has not seen daylight for almost 70 years.

Hi guys,

very nice badges to see in this thread!

John your Assmann first pattern badge is a killer for sure.Very very early thin die.Tom i like the B&NL badges also.As you have stated the finish of them is looking very good.I had also one in my collection,but i was so stupid in the past to let it go...:-((

Stan this is a fantastic group of a Kreta Jumper.

From my side i want to post a Juncker set with a uncommon case.

Regards

Joe

Another Juncker badge for this thead,also to see on the group shot.A well worn badge with a pilot badge wreath.Not a minty guy,but full of history and with a perfect die struck.

Regards
