WW2 Para Insignia Assistance Please

[Allan B]

Hi All,

I would like to put the following insignia on e-stand. However, to alleviate any fears for members, I would very much appreciate your comments on authenticity please.

Would you also please advise a fair price for these items.

Kind Regards

Allan

Perfect Alan, It's a shame you don't have both Airborne strips.

As for value I'm a bit out of the loop so I can't really help, sorry.

Yours, Guy.

Sorru Allan I'm afraid the printed insignia is not good. The colour is a giveaway as is the font of the "Airborne". The rounded "O" instead of an oval "O" is always a giveaway

Hello Jack,

Thank you very much for letting me know. I purchased these (not the qualification badge) a couple of years ago and will get my money back. The dealer is still in business.

Kind Regards

The "O" looks oval to me any chance of showing both the oval and the round "O's" side by side?

[Jack Dutton-Roberts]

Poor effort but my best - terrible image sorry

Chalk and cheese as they say. Look at the thickness of the letters, the colour, the different shaped O etc

OOPS, terribly Sorry Alan, I'm rustier than I thought.

Good job Jack's on the ball .

Yours, Guy.

Glad you were able to keep the white background to a minimum Jack .
However, I very much see what you mean.

They came from a dealer/friend, so will go for the nice approach first.

Cheers

Allan

[Jack Dutton-Roberts]

Haha Allan, wasn't me was it?

[Allan B]

No, he is not on the forum.

Cheers
