Early type case for the Luftwaffe Paratrooper Badge (Schachtel zum Fallschirmschützenabzeichen). The Paratrooper’s qualification badge was instituted by 'Hermann Göring' on 5 November 1936 for award to Luftwaffe 'Fallschirmjäger' personnel who had written the required tests and completed six parachute jumps. When issued the badge was accompanied by a blue coloured case. This is an early type case. On top of the case is stenciled in gilt print the script: "Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen". The box is in very good and fully functional condition showing only minimal traces of usage. Rare and hard to find case in stunning condition!
