      Hi Stug,

      The insignia looks original to me, but I'm wondering if the cockade may be on a dark green (army) backing rather than a black one. If you look at the photo of the cap, and flick your eyes from the diamond around the cockade to the backing of the eagle, the cockade's backing looks to be a different shade. Here are two pics of cockades on black and dark green backings to illustrate the point. However, this difference in shade might just be the way the cockade on the cap is catching the light.

      The eagle looks like a good M36 BeVo version, but I cannot say whether you need to be looking for machine-stitching to the cap, or if hand-stitching is okay too. Collectors have fiery debates about application techniques!

      All the best,

      Mark

        Here is the insignia from the photo of the cap, with the brightness increased. The cockade does seem to be on a different shade of backing to the eagle.

          You are correct sir, I do believe this to be a cockade with dark green backing.
