Some of my original M31 Paratrooper Badge portraits

[Eric Queen]

Picked up a few of these lately. The M31 has a pointed bottom. The M36 (issued until 1955 I believe) had a rounded bottom. 

 

Feel free to post others to this thread. 

 

Enjoy

Very nice

The photo of the two soldiers, one wearing the parachute badge, appears to be a 1936 type. The bottom tip seems rounded instead of at a sharp point as on the 1931 type.
