Description: Rare obsolete original insignia for the Afghan army paratroopers from the Republic of Afghanistan era. Measures a large 2 1/2” across. This badge is Type 2, Third Class. Type 2 is the second design of the Afghan parachutist badge, from the Republic of Afghanistan which existed from approximately 1973-1978. Third Class, with one star, was awarded for participating in combat jumps. There are 3 Types of parachutist badges from Afghanistan, each from a different era of governance and military administration: Type 1 from the Kingdom of Afghanistan (a monarchy ended by a coup d’etat), Type 2 from the Republic of Afghanistan (established by General Daoud Khan and also ended by a coup d’etat) and Type 3 from the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan (a Soviet backed government). The current Afghanistan military does not have any Airborne units. Age and tarnish overall. Some oxidation on the front and a lot on the reverse near the solder points. You are buying the material pictured.This is a hobby not a living, so I try to keep it fun, otherwise why do it. Thank you for trading with me on eBay. _gsrx_vers_625 (GS 6.9.7 (625))
