Hi Kindzjal,
This would be a good starting point for your 1SBS themed collection. The badge appears genuine. I believe it’s from a batch of unissued badges in this number range, although am away from my reference sources at the moment so cannot verify this for you.
As you likely know, the 1SBS militaria is heavily copied, so you’re off to a good start by being extra cautious with each prospective purchase.
Best wishes,
Tony

Yes, Tony is right regarding Polish para items and this particular badge which is genuin but unissued.
It's late K&S production.
I would like to thank both of You gentleman
You’re most welcome. And thanks Rafal for your input. Being unissued doesn’t really make it any less collectible. You could argue that there were far less unissued badges than issued ones! The fact that it’s a scarce genuine Kirkwood wins the day.
Cheers,
Tony

Agree with above comments ..... Unissued late wing.
Bad - copy!
Compare details to your previous badge.

Thank You. Indeed, I have seen the differences...
