Old Marine Posted January 4, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 4, 2022 I’ve had this small parachute pin in the box for years. Can any one ID this one. It’s small about 1 1/4 inches (3mm)in height. Any thoughts or observations will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonomachi Posted January 4, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 4, 2022 It is a WW2 era Free Polish paratrooper collar pin. It is usually pinned through a kite shape multi sections piece of varying colored felt denoting infantry or other specialties. There are a lot of copies of these out on the collector's market but your piece looks genuine. Below are photos of a pair of collar badges alongside their paratrooper wing and a wartime photo of a Free Polish paratrooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Marine Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted January 5, 2022 Tonomachi, thank you. You never know what’s lying around, right under your nose. No matter how long I collect this stuff or how much I learn there is always more to learn. thank you for sharing your knowledge. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
