ARMY PARATROOPERS BADGE
Instituted on 1st September 1937
The Army
Paratroopers badge only had a service life of approx two years making it one of
the rarest Army badges you can acquire. The Army Troops who were qualified were
allowed though, to wear their Army paratroopers award if they were tranfered to
the Luftwaffe and continued to be Paratroopers. So far we have only encountered Original badges
to be made from "Bunt metal" (Mixed metal alloy of zinc,brass,etc ) and Aluminium.
There has been much dedate in the early part of 2001, as to wheather these badges exsisted. But research
has shown that infact both marked and un marked Juncker badges do exist, For a full blow by blow account please take the time to read the following
