Cloth Fallschirmjaeger Abzeichen

[Saladin]

Hello All,
this is one badge that I picked up and put back down this weekend in Brecon.

It had a nice padded backing and certainly felt period...Didn't sniff it but just asked the stall holder if I could take some pictures of his stuff.

That Eagle's beak just looks too much like some sort of hook to be believable.

Do you think I made the right choice leaving it on the table?

On the next thread I will post the JUncker badge that was sitting with it!!!

All the best
Doug

You did the right thing Doug. I don't like it at all. Way too crude.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade,
I was impressed at first with the tight weave on the eagle's (if you can call it an eagle) till I got out my glass and looked at the beak...UGLY

All the best
Doug

Agree with Ade, looks wrong and they appear to have tried to pimp the back with the typed makers mark
