Any idea's on where I might get a reasonably priced, resonable copy of an FJ jump badge.. SOF look a little garish!

Hi Chris, I've had a look at the usual suspects, but none are listing them at the moment (which doesn't necessarily mean they don't have them!). However, the SoF one looks ok to me, and they are quick deliverers, so I would go with that one, myself.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
I've just seen Richard has one in but it looks very similar to SOF's. Does anyone have one of his and is it worth £4 more???

Do you refer to the cloth badge or the metal badge?
There is some data from veterans that suggests that they frowned upon the cloth version. He never wore a jump badge because of this.
This from a man who had two confirmed Sherman kills with Panzerfaust and never got a tank destruction badge. He got the paperwork but never the badge. Too busy fighting and surviving.
This from the man who taught me how to strip a K98.
Thanks Gerry.

Metal badge..
Soldier of fortunes web page is a terrible picture, but looks exactly like Richards if you squint a bit... However at the social I don't really want people squinting at the badge on my left tit... Problem is that with the bank holiday, I may be lucky to get anything delivered from either to arrive in time for Crete.... Bugger..
There is me thinking I am so well organised.... It has just hit me exactly how much I still have to prepare for Crete..! Just doing my AK47 hop mod for my MP40 as we speak... (which may not be so perfect after a bottle of wine....) Any how so looking forward to next weekend..
Regards Chris
P.S.
If anyone is going as brit to the Crete game and has a jump badge they could possibly loan me for the friday night please pm me ...
Regards Chris
