ItemCo16527 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hi all, I have a WWII-era battledress jacket that I'm selling, and someone has told me that the patches on it are not originals. I bought this jacket almost 10 years ago, and the seller assured me they were originals. I was wondering if someone here would be able to give me an expert opinion. Thanks!

Wood Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Well I'm pretty sure that the Pegasus patches are not wartime, can't say I like them at all. What date is the tunic? Pete Edited June 9, 2010 by wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItemCo16527 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 I believe it's dated 1942 from what a prospective buyer told me. Another told me the patches are outright fakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 The tunic should have a white label inside with a lot of blurb and a date (They repro these lables now) So it may even be a post war tunic. I am no great expert on para insignia, but the other bits look too bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
