WH (Luftwaffe) 'Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen' by: 'Imme & Sohn'

The truly very attractive - and with certainty not that often seen ie. fairly rarely encountered! - Luftwaffe-war-badge ie. 'Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen' truly retains most (ie. all!) of its period-applied finish but does show a minimally tarnished- (ie. typical 'Tombak'- (ie. 'Buntmetall'-like-) age-patina as is more often encountered on these (high-quality!) Luftwaffe-war-badges as produced by the: 'Imme & Sohn'-company as was based in the town of Berlin. The badge shows a clear makers'-designation (ie. that reads: 'Imme & Sohn - Berlin') and is in all respects thus an example that can be attributed to this desirable maker: the award shows naturally all the specific details as known for a genuine badge by this particular maker. The award shows a 'separately'- (and/or very detailed!) bright-golden-toned eagle-device attached (by means of two firmly attached- (and totally unaltered!) rivets (as is visible on the back). It retains a fully functional (and of course also unaltered) pin (ie. pin-set-up) and has a functional and non-repaired catch (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece was I deem clearly used- and/or worn and is a bit stained ie. dirty but has - I deem - never been cleaned: the silver-coloured wreath and/or golden-coloured eagle-device both retain a very nice albeit minimally tarnished appearance (as can be seen on the pictures). It should, moreover, be noted that these attractive 'Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen' by the 'Imme & Sohn'-company can easily be graded: 'very scarce' and are not that easily encountered nor offered for sale. This particular piece originates from a private-household in Germany were it was recently uncovered and was never before in collectors'-hands: it does show some (period- albeit undecypherable engraved numerals ie. text on its back and/or rim). I deem that I have priced this very attractive - and just moderately worn! - piece according to its compararive rarity and/or desirability!
