Superb, WH (Luftwaffe) 'Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen in Stoff' (or: cloth-based paratroopers' jump-badge) that is nicely machine-embroidered and being of the so-called: 'padded version'

This a truly very attractive - and actually not that easily encountered! - WH (Luftwaffe) 'Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen in Stoff' (or: cloth-based, paratroopers'-jump-badge) that is neatly machine-embroidered in multi-coloured- (and typical linnen-based-) thread and being of the neat, so-called: 'of-factory'-'padded version' and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem issued albeit never used- nor tunic-attached- ie. 'virtually mint'-), condition. This particular example has great pronounced detail and is made more 'thicker' by the producing-company in order to closely resemble its metal-based counterparts. The piece is nicely 'backed' with black-coloured- paper as is more often encountered (which 'backing' is completely present as can be seen on the pictures). The badge just shows some age and/or staining simply caused by decades of storage only. These detailed cloth-based versions were preferred by the soldiers, NCOs and/or officers 'stationed in the field' for obvious reasons. Simply an attractive and fully 'text-book' example of a WH (Luftwaffe) 'Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen in Stoff' that cannot be upgraded and that is I deem accordingly priced!
