Anyone have any info on the wartime paratroop badge?

There's a 1936 badge at Espenlaub: http://aboutww2militaria.com/index.html?rus_awards.htm
Is this the badge used throughout the GPW or was there a later one?

Trident do some cheap repro badges but I think they are copies of the 1968 badge: http://tridentarms.com/soviet-badges.html

Now found some WW2 badges on Trident that look like the 1936 Espenlaub badge:

Hi Simon, the Trident one RSB25 is OK.

Here is an original from my collection.

Cheers, Ade.
