Looks to good to be true... IMO not original.

I don't like it too,the piece of camo cloth is not cut from the smock,the cloth badge is not a good one IMO

Hello again,

Thanks all. The piece of camo looked decent to me, but the para badge is nothing like the originals I've had prior.

The badge is hand embroidered. It has not been on the splinter fabric very long.

John,

Thanks for the opinion, does anyone else have a hand-embroidered version to share? Do you think either the award or the cloth is authentic, just post-war matched together?

The splinter fabric is a piece of Zeltbahn

original hand made badge ... on a piece of zeltbahn cloth ...

[Thomas Durante]

I can only agree with the others, not an original cloth para

Recently done on a piece of Zeltbahn, not smock fabric at all. Have never seen or heard of a hand embroidered cloth badge so a from me as well.
