See post #8 in this thread, the patch looks the same to me.

I've had a fake, the one posted looks okay to me. Here's a thread on another forum with more examples to compare it to.

Thanks a lot !
I'm not collecting this stuff, it's not for my own collection, but my experience tells me it's a good one !

I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but there is an article in the most recent "Military Advisor" quarterly that indicates that these are not originals, including the one in my collection. The originals are wider and the eagle's face and beak are noticably different.

There is definetly a size difference between the fakes and the originals. I personally like the ones with a flat spot on top of the diamond also.

thanks for the opinion, could it be possible for you to post pics please ?

Garry M had this one. Note how it looks sort of short and wide. I don't have a side by side comparrison photo. Maybe there is one in the article mentioned. If I was looking for one of these patches I would want this style. I'm not saying the other style is not good, I don't know for sure, and it's the style shown in all the reference books. I just like the style of the one in the link a lot more.

Here's a patch I sold a while back. In my opinion (based on period documentation and the fact that this patch is a shirt-removed original) this is the only type of the patch which I personally would be happy to say is original. There is a discussion on these at the link with further pictures:
