An old and well known fake.

Thanks Mark. I felt this way.

Greetings All,

Andrei, this is a Patch King patch. They were commercially made immediately after the war.

Thanks Fred.

As already pointed out by Mark and Fred, post war reproduction. They never made a AFRIKA or AFRIKAKORPS cuff like this. Matt

Hello gents,

a fake without doubt for me also. But are you sure that this is postwar?
Because during WW2 there where made the first fakes and this look similiar to this.

This is a Patch King. I believe that these were made in the 50's.

This was made for and sold by The Patch King. They were selling these from before the war ended up to the late 1960s.

A classic and collectable on it's own i.m.o.: the first generation reproduction insignia, not ment to decieve.
