Badge, Parachutist's, 'Jump Wings', US Army, BELL TRADING POST, Sterling, Pin Back

Nice genuine WWII US Army silver alloy 'jump wings', manufactured by Bell Trading Post and hallmarked Sterling. The original pin is in working order.

Designed by Captain Yarborough and 2nd Lieutenant Minter, the Army Parachutist's Badge was first presented on March 23, 1941. Qualification was six jumps, later reduced to five.

Good overall condition.
