Moderately worn example of a WH (Luftwaffe) 'Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen' by the 'Assmann & Söhne'-company

This is an attractive - and with certainty somewhat later-war-period! - so-called: 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 with certainty produced by the: 'Assmann & Söhne'-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 (ie. set-up) and/or catch (ie. catch set-up). These later-war-period, 'molded' badges show a 'loose' and/or detailed eagle-device attached (by means of two rivets as is visible on the back of the badge). These zinc-based badges show, however, nice and/or pronounced detail overall. The badge truly retains its period (albeit as more often faded) silverish-golden-coloured finish and does show a somewhat tarnished age-patina as is more often encountered. The badge shows a clearly impressed 'A'-makers'-mark-designation (and/or: '1'-mold-marking) 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 my friend Thomas M. Durante wherein this particular pattern is given the unique reference-designation: 'Zinc - Die Struck Wreath -Type G'-variant. Simply an attractive - and garuanteed original! - later-war-period, zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based 'Assmann'-pattern of this desirable Luftwaffe-war-badge that is (I deem) accordingly priced!
