Hi Mark,

Take a look on Ebay, I had a quick look and at the
moment there are about ten original ones listed
ranging from £1.99 to £10.00. To answer your question
"What could I expect to pay"...well there is one that
has just 4 hours left to go on auction and is listed at £2.99.
There is a fair bit listed at the moment for the Parachute
Regiment ranging from shoulder titles, mugs, cloth badges,
blazer badges etc...etc...

Just on bit of advice ask the seller if it is original and
not a re-strike.

You've also got Kelly's Badges on the Internet.

I hope you manage to find

Regards
Kieron

most definitely original and of good quality, but with a
starting price of £18.00 and with zero bids, i would say
it's a bit pricey. But then again you may not see one
the quality again. I personally would keep looking.

If you want the silvered war economy one for later in the war, plastic/bakelite type, then look to pay £50 plus!
