Hungarian paratrooper troops badge
The Hungarian Paratrooper Troops Badge was an award for the activities of the Royal Hungarian Air Force of the Kingdom of Hungary , newly founded in 1938 under the Imperial Administrator and Head of State Miklós Horthy . However, this job badge was only introduced in 1940 and then worn until 1945. The award was made, along with a certificate and ID, by the commanding officer of the parachute troops after at least four parachute jumps and was only allowed to be worn as long as this type of troop belonged to the loan.
Appearance and wearing style
The Hungarian paratrooper troop badge for officers is 80 mm wide and 36 mm high and shows a gold-embroidered pair of eagle wings on a grass-green cloth base in the middle of which there is a silver-embroidered skull facing the front . Below are two diagonally crossed swords, also embroidered in silver, and over the skull a stylized open parachute with lines that is 25 mm wide. The badge for NCOs has the same appearance but is made of patinated metal as a clasp. Both types were worn over the right breast pocket.
