The finish on this looks modern and I assume some sort of paratroop connection. I thought French, SE Asian, or African. Any ideas?

It is from Honduras, 2nd Parachute Battalion. Actually this was / is the only para unit that I know they have and part of Special Operations Unit (national CT unit) formed in mid 1980s

At the time, in the 1980-1990s, it was the only airborne infantry unit in the Army. The pocket crests are rarely seen and could only be purchased at the unit shop.

 

 

The badge on the left is one I am trying to ID.

Thank you! I was so fixated on European or SE Asia I did not even consider the Americas. This piece doesn't fit into my collection, is there any trade or resale value? I assume it is a niche market.

 

Thanks,

Rob
