Here is the "Korean People's Army Paratrooper" Badge (조선인민군항공륙전병휘장). A badge that is VERY commonplace on the market although over coveted by those who covet. The Badge is very heavily influenced by Soviet Parachutist qualification badges and due to the small amount of actual airborne forces in the DPRK, the large number of Badges on the market and usual "unworn" condition of the badges hitting the market it is probably more than fair to deduce that these particular badges are redundant and surplus to desire. The Badges are constructed from plated copper. I have never heard of a picture of one of these Badges being worn on any type of uniform which leads me to believe that this "award" badge may have been a project that was cancelled before initiation. However this is a nice starter piece for collectors that have a main interest lying in Airborne forces. DO NOT pay more than $8 for this badge unless you have money to waste.
