1st Pattern Army Paratrooper Badge. Maker C.E. Juncker, Aluminium.

Aluminium based and, apart from the hook and rivets being repaired, in a good, worn condition. The wreath with all of the gilt finish, the eagle with all of the silver plate.
Marked on the reverse with the maker „C.E. Juncker, BerlinS.W.“. So called first pattern badge. See Thomas Durante, The Luftwaffe & Heer Paratrooper Badges.
Very difficult to find 1st pattern. As so often the hook and rivets repaired on these delicate badges.
