I am offering a vintage US Navy and Marine Corps Airborne Parachute Insignia cold enamel Combat Parachutist Badge metal pendant with 3 service stars.
The Parachutist Badge, also commonly referred to as "Jump Wings" or "Snow Cone", is a military badge of the United States Armed Forces awarded to members of the United States Army, Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy.
The insignia depicting an open parachute with outstretched wings, the United States flag in the center, 3 stars within a circle wreath.
The original Army Parachutist Badge was designed in 1941 by Lieutenant General (then Captain) William P. Yarborough and approved by the Department of the Army in March of that year. In addition to the Parachutist Badge, U.S. Army paratroopers wore a "paraglider" patch on the front left side (enlisted) or right side (officers) of the garrison cap.
Measurement: Overall Approx. 1 5/8” X 2”.
Condition: VF (Very Fine), see photos.
The Badge Pendant you see in the photo is the Badge Pendant you get.

Fantastic for your jewelry especially as a pendant on a necklace, craft projects, Steampunk, collage art projects or just a great addition to your military collection.
