Ext Rare WWII US Army Paratrooper Badge by Norsid Near Mint but Extremely Worn Die Stamp

Extremely rare WWII United States Army Paratrooper badge by Norsid. The paratrooper badge is sterling silver and shows two wings furled tightly about a balloon. Norsid was notorious for having stress cracks and other issues with their insignia. Faulty dies, or faulty materials, I am not sure. This example was made with an extremely worn die stamp, 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.

"NORSID CO. N. Y."

This is from a US Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJJX07 LCIEX7/16 SLBGEX05/28/23

9+ (Near Mint-): The wing is in near mint condition, but was made with an extremely worn die stamp, overall handsome patina.

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