FOR VALOUR Posted November 24, 2017 Author Posted November 24, 2017 Hello Tony Thank you for replying its 9x7 inches. David
peter monahan Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 Interesting! I'd say, judging from the size, that it is a piece of whatever the WWII equivalent of 'trench art' was. The cloth looks a bit coarse for a handkerchief and the stitching is exactly the sort of thing I, or some clumsy trooper, might do in a quiet moment. Very probably genuine, I'd say, as it would be such an odd thing to fake, unless it came with a great story and a big price tag. Here's an example of the 7th Armoured's shoulder sign, a slightly more complex version than this - hand painted, obviously - example.
Farkas Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 Hi Gents I've just been googling and sadly saw this.... the description says "old reproduction - possibly stage prop..." i still like it but... To me, if this is another one it would seem odd - unless you have bought one of a pair from the same person....? hope this helps tony
