This is a nice late war cased Luftwaffe Paratrooper Badge (Fallschirmschützenabzeichen). The Paratrooper's qualification badge was instituted by 'Hermann Göring' on 5 November 1936 for award to Luftwaffe personnel who had written the required tests and completed six parachute jumps. This badge is a nice mid- to late-war zinc example. The badge is nicely maker marked with 'B&NL' indicating production by the company of 'Berg & Nolte AG' from Lüdenscheid. The badge still retains almost all of its original finish and is showing very nice & pronounced detail overall. The badge has naturally a functional pin & catch construction. The badge comes together with its original case as found together. The case is in slightly used condition and showing minimal traces of usage and some damage at the corners. Nice original late war cased Paratrooper's Badge in stunning condition!
