Ext Rare WWII US Army Paratrooper Badge by Norsid in Sterling Pressure Crack in Canopy

Extremely rare WWII United States Army Paratrooper badge by Norsid. The paratrooper badge is sterling silver and shows two wings furled tightly about a open parachute. Norsid was notorious for having stress cracks and other issues with their insignia. Faulty dies, or faulty materials, I am not sure. This example shows a large pressure crack flaw in the canopy, otherwise near mint condition.

Circa WWII.

Approximately 1-1/2" in length x 7/8" in height.

Sterling silver.

Horizontal pin with come-under locking catch.

9 (Excellent - Near Mint): The badge shows a large pressure crack flaw in canopy, otherwise in near mint condition.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
