Major General Bil4338 Posted September 30, 2016 Major General Share Posted September 30, 2016 ok, military detectives, here's one for you all...got this in today and went to replace my repro badge with this one.upon examination, I'm thinking there's been a bit of tinkering going on, what do you all think? have I got an original badge, or a repro which has been very nicely aged and weathered, or is the reproduction just scarily accurate? i peeled the backing cloth off the repro to see what lay beneath....we have very similar linen.on the 'original' it's similar with loose threads as if a backing's been removed, or it could've been made like that as so many period badges were.one difference is the remnant of backing material on the repro where it's been sewn-in as it were. so, do I have an original example, or a cleverly aged replica? The embroidery is very similar but not 100% exact, just scarily close.see what you think..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
