paulbear Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hi, I have never seen one made up so sloppy . It could be an ORs with cord to enhance to officer level but is does not look up to standard you normally find thesePAUL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I have never seen one this badly executed either. Oddly enough, the materials do look to be period... Perhaps a local contract/tailor maker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks Paul.One good thing is that it doesn't glow under UV light.Regards,Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks Paul.One good thing is that it doesn't glow under UV light.Regards,AndyI dont think that I would toss it. It will have a significantly lower monetary value to collectors, but I THINK that it could be OK. I would have to hold it for me to determine with more certainty either way. Has anyone else seen any known repro insignia(from any organization) made up in this manner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbear Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 agree, as said it could be an enhanced ORs patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
