Well, I have always liked these but never really knew that much about them. Considering the situation now I feel these aremore of a service badge than a simple commemorative one. Ie if you wern't there you didn't get one. Therefore, you had to have served so not a simple commemoration.
Anyway, the postman brought this today so I thought I might show it here and maybe kickstart the thread.
Sorry for the poor pics, I am having a great deal of trouble with natural light at the moment and don't really know why.

Looking good Mark! The white enamel looks minty.
Have you tried fiddling with the white balance on your camera?
Yep, the enamel both the white and blue (plus the red bits!) is as good as it gets without being brand new.by Glenn66
As for the white balance I am using the same settings as I always do so I think it is the prevailing natural light conditions which are a little weird right now in this part of England. Maybe a pre-cursor of what is to come.

Wow! Beautiful.
Great Thread.... Wonderful
Here is a photo I got from the internet, but it show the badge in wear. Also an interesting cuff title, it looks like a real studio portrait to me.
Looks to be an SS Paratrooper?
I'm going to repost this in one of the larger photo threads. It's an interesting photo.
