A stunning piece of non-standard insignia used by US troops in the Pacific. This is a Bullion Basic Paratrooper Badge, hand-crafted in Okinawa, a key staging area for the Vietnam War. Soldiers often purchased these premium bullion badges for their dress uniforms or berets as a mark of distinction over the standard issued metal wings.

  • Craftsmanship: High-quality silver wire embroidery provides a rich, textured look on a black wool/felt background.

  • Authenticity: The reverse features the classic Japanese-made black paper/cardboard backing with two pin posts glued/inserted through it. This is the textbook diagnostic for Okinawa-made insignia.

  • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The wire remains bright with minimal tarnish.
