    British patches, help please!

    Hallo,
    I need your help about some patches:
    - 3rd Div, Royal Warwikshire Rgt
    - 7th Amd Div
    - Parachute Rgt
    - RAF

    (12 pictures attached)

    Can you tell me if they are original WW2 manufacturing?

    Thank you all!

              I like the 3rd div, I don't like the Jerboa, not wartime and the others I would not like to comment on.

                    Hi!
                    thank you for the reply.
                    I thought the Royal Warwickshire patches were original, expecially for the embroiding style of the letters.
                    Why you think the Armoured corps patches are bad? and the jerboa is not wartime?
                    About the para patches: the pegasus is white instead of blue, as wartime were. But Airborne one seems ok. I noted that the wing is white embroided and not light blue, as books say.
                    Can you explain me your idea?

                    Thanks,

                      Sorry, but I meant I like the 3rd div and the Warwicks patches, I was treating them as one. I did not comment on the RAC titles, just the Jerboa, which does not match the wartime examples IMO.

                        May I have some "technical" explanations to understand better how to identify an original WW2 british patch?

                        Thank you!

                          Here is a war time Jerboa. There are some other versions, but they don't have black backing fabric, though the Brabant type does, but the backing fabric has a very distinct weave, which I can't see in the pic posted.

                          Jerry

                          PS try rotating the pic so it stands upright, as looking at it at a funny angle does not aid viewing IMO.

                            The weave on the Pegasus patch should be from top left, to bottom right.

                              Hallo mike.

                              I noted the different way oh the way, but are we sure "all" pegasus badges were printed on patches with "top left-bottom right" wave?
                              I mean: if I posted this same patch, but with the wave from top left to bottom right, should it be considered a fake too?
                              I noted that the pegasus seems white instead of light blue, as WW2 examples were: do you think this is another detail for considering it a fake?

                              I thank you very much!
