wow,,, I have done a search on WAF, and have not seen anything on the bullion style mountain troop sleeve patch, I have seen a few on other sites but with most of the paper backing gone that shows a lot of detail of the bullion stitching but that does not help me because nearly all of the backing is intact on my badge..
In my opinion the wear on the front of the bullion looks good and to period construction... I cant believe I cant get some help on these patches...

The bullion patch doesn't appear to have been worn as there are no stitch holes in the paper backing. The wear appears to me oxidation rather than from rubbing

Thank you....

I don't like the bullion, looks fake to me. The right one isn't good either IMO.
