(J1116) A very rare early 1957 Para Badge in it's original Paper Packet of Issue. To start with, the para badge has an original WWII patterned wreath, as well as an original patterned eagle riveted to it. Examination of the feet show that it used to hold a swastika, but this has been cut when they have re-designed it. The award has the West German hinge, pin and hook fittings to the reverse and the overall quality of this award is very early. I have not had one in it's paper packet for many many years. Probably harder to acquire than it's wartime counterpart as a set like this. The paper packet is in very good condition although as been folded at the bottom. It has the full correct title printed to the front giving the institution date of 1936 and the re-institution date of 1957. It also then comes with a mini stick pin para badge a superb and complete set GBP £275.00 (UK Pounds)
