The standard and instantly recognizable Basic Parachutist Badge of the U.S. Armed Forces. This metal insignia features the classic open parachute with wings extending to the sides. The reverse side utilizes clutch-back pins for attachment (as visible in the photo) and is typically marked with the manufacturer's code "S 21 GI." This specific configuration confirms that the badge was produced to Government Issue specifications (GI) and is strongly associated with the Vietnam War era or the late 1960s/1970s production period.

Testimonials

The craftsmanship on this piece is extraordinary. The effigy carving and brass tacks tell a story you can feel in your hands. A centerpiece of my Great Lakes collection.

Collector of Native American Artifacts

Authentic history preserved perfectly. The condition exceeded expectations, and the provenance documentation gave me complete confidence. Worth every penny.

WWII History Enthusiast

Owning a piece of ordnance history like this is surreal. The casting detail is remarkable, and it's become the conversation starter in my Civil War display.

Civil War Collector

Finding an excavated Revolutionary War relic this intact is nearly impossible. The script is crisp, and knowing it was worn by a Continental soldier gives me chills.

Revolutionary War Historian

The Sheffield maker's mark and beaver tail handle make this an museum-quality piece. Exactly the kind of authentic trade-era artifact I've been searching for.
