Picked this up a few weeks ago, interesting unit. Still doing research. Dated 1959, sterling jump wings, name painted on the belt. Any comments welcome.

Very nice find, not so often seen!

And yes, it's the VII corps LRRP (ABN) - C Coy (LRP) 58th Inf. It was set up, if i recall correctly, in July 1961 and was stationed in Nellingen, Germany.
