Attractive - and later-war-period! - zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based version of a WH (Luftwaffe) 'Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen' being a clearly maker- (ie. 'A'-) marked example as was produced by the: 'Assmann'-company

This is a truly attractive - and with certainty later-war-period! - typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based version of a WH (Luftwaffe) 'Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen' (or: paratroopers-war-badge) being a clearly maker- (ie. 'A'-) marked example as was produced by the 'Assmann'-company and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit just moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The neat and detailed badge - which as stated above has been moderately worn - comes naturally mounted onto its functional pin- and/or functional catch (ie. catch set-up) which are both in pristine condition (as can be noticed on the pictures). These later-war-period, 'molded' badges show a 'loose' and/or detailed eagle-device attached (by means of two crudely stamped rivets as is visible on the back of the badge). These zinc-based badges show, however, nice and/or pronounced detail overall. The badge shows its (albeit somewhat faded) golden-coloured finish and does show a somewhat tarnished ie. dirty age-patina as is more often encountered. The badge shows a clearly impressed 'A' makers'-mark-designation on its back and can with certainty be attributed to the maker: 'Assmann & Söhne': all specific details corroborate this. A similar example is also described in the excellent reference-book entitled: 'The German Luftwaffe & Heer Paratrooper Badges of World War II - 1936-1945' by Thomas M. Durante wherein this particular pattern is given the unique reference-designation: 'Assmann - Typ G'-variant. Simply an attractive - and garuanteed original! - later-war-period, zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based, by the 'Assmann'-company produced 'Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen' that is - I deem - accordingly priced!
