Casualties were so prevalent in the regiment that it was actually excused from the Normandy invasion to regroup. The beautifully enameled insignia shows the head of a red devil with a pitchfork beneath a blue parachute.

SIZE: Approximately 15/16" in diameter.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Chrome-plated brass, enamel.

ATTACHMENT: Vertical pin with come-under locking swivel catch.
