REPRODUCTION PAIR Of Non-Regulation 551st PIR Collar Discs #2 SALE PRICED!

?These are REPRODUCTION non-regulation screwback "paratrooper" collar discs. I bought these 20 years ago from a militaria dealer near my hometown in Nebraska.  The soldering of the post on the back of the chute does look very old and patinated, but please see the US Militaria Forum post dated August 3, 2010 entitled "WWII Paratrooper Collar Disc".  One of the posters indicated that some individuals in the 551st PIR had some similar collar discs made by a jeweler during WWII as an inside unit joke (See image above from the posting).  However, these discs are not them! I had no reason to doubt the veracity of the seller who I've known for decades, but apparently he's been making them for years, along with his reproduction painted helmets. As an added touch of authenticity, he even placed them on some period correct N.S. Meyer brand PX cards!  I'm asking $30 less than what I paid for them in order to move them.  So, if you're re-enacting the 551st PIR, this may be just the ticket! The buyer will have my unconditional guarantee of satisfaction and a five-day (not the 14-days that they insert in my listings without my consent) right of inspection and return/refund privilege, excluding postage. PLEASE NOTE: The insignia will be mailed by first class mail at an approximate postage of $5, unless the buyer requests priority mail.  The unused postage will be refunded to the buyer after mailing.   PLEASE SCROLL DOWNWARD TO SEE THE LAST IMAGE!
