Obsolete Basic Soviet Union USSR Airborne Parachutist Jump Wing Badge B&T 723
Item History & Price
This is an obsolete military issue Basic Parachutist Qualification Badge from the former Soviet Union or USSR. The basic parachutist badge has a 1+ 2 parachute jump hanger. It is from the Cold War period circa 1965. It has a threaded post with a round threaded nut on the back for attachment. This badge is illustrated in Bragg & Turner's 1st book, as B&T# 723. It is made of brass with white and blue enamel. This type of USSR parachute badge is the ...older style made of brass (Not Aluminum) and hot enamel.(SEE PHOTOS) Numbered jump hangers were awarded in separate increments to recognize the number of parachute jumps made by the wearer. I believe that both static line and military free fall jumps counted toward a total number of parachute descents.

With the recent huge increase in U.S. postal rates and requirement for delivery confirmation tracking, we have had to increase the shipping costs for both domestic and overseas mailings.
Additionally the cost of International mail has more than doubled so we may soon have to cease mailing items outside the U.S.
Thank you for understanding.
