A Type A - Fallschirmschützenabzeichen der Luftwaffe by Brüder Schneider of Wein.

The two-piece construction badge features a die struck tombak based and gold gilded eagle with a die struck nickel-silver based and chemically blackened wreath. The oval shaped obverse depicts a diving Luftwaffe eagle, clutching a swastika within its talons, and is above by a blackened half laurel leaf and berry, half oak leaf and acorn wreath.
