Germany, Luftwaffe. A Fallschirmjäger Badge, Cloth Version

(Luftwaffe Fallschirmschützenabzeichen, Stoffversion). Constructed of grey and golden yellow machine embroidery on a grey wool backer, measuring 50 mm (w) x 60 mm (h), a worn example, and in overall near very fine condition.

Footnote: Previously removed from a Third Reich political party podium flag. An Allied Soldier picked up this flag and added on German insignia, eventually sewing and attaching eighty-seven German Second War period embroidered and printed insignia, including twenty-five various shoulder boards, rank insignia, collar patches, breast eagles, medal ribbons, Naval trade badges, and cap insignia, all of which have now been removed.
