    The rivets have been tapped down once or twice. I think that long tail kept snagging on the pocket, or on the parachute harness.

    Another late war Assmann. I wish the eagle on this example was more 'giltier'. Some examples posted earlier by other members are killers!

    Assmann double marked 'A' & L/64. Faintly seen is the '1' on the wreath, as are the injection molding points.

    And here is the Deumer. I guess that this is a 2nd pattern?

    Hi Guys,

    Here's my latest addition to my Para Badge family - an early 1st Pattern Juncker belonging to a Fallschirmj?ger of Rgt. Hermann G?ring. The rest of his grouping I have posted in the Collectors Showcase, along with the Document for this man, numbered 43 and dated 14 Dezember 1936! Being instituted on November 5 of the same year, this Para Badge HAS to be the earliest version produced by Juncker!

    What a lovely badge, Eric! Interesting to see that Juncker sourced the eagle for this badge from Assmann. One sees this kind of thing from time to time.

    A look at a side by side comparison wiil show that this is not an Assmann bird, but is fact pure Juncker. Imo both firms, working from the designers artwork, produced a very similar bird for their 1st pattern examples. Juncker then went on to produce their 2nd pattern and Assmann retained the same eagle throughtout.
