boonicootza Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I bought this pair recently on ebay in a lot of other patches. What's your opinion on them? Real, reproduction? The look worn and removed from an uniform. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) By no means an expert but I'm not keen on the title patch - the back looks unlike the few I've seen. These have been heavily reproduced and the repros now often turn up, some suitable aged, as originals. I actually bought a half size repro. at the Juno Beach center when i was there in 2015. The Canadian Airbourne section of the british Badge Forum has at least 5-6 threads on repro/fake patches, some of which date back 15 years and more [the wings, not the threads]. No idea about the wings. Edited May 10, 2017 by peter monahan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonicootza Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Thank you Peter! It looks like both are repro. At least the lot was very cheap and I bought it really for the other patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Statistically, I suspect the odds are 5/1 fake/real theses days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
