RSI X^MAS cloth sleeve shield were irrefutably made and worn, but I’d acquire one only with solid rock provenance (like I did from the relative of a vet). I’m not too keen on yours.
The zinc alloy insignia on the collar tabs is period but the fabric looks new as compared to the patina of the insignia. I’d expect a more old looking cloth, if you know what I mean.

I agree with you 100% Marco...

Thank you guys very much for your opinions.
Yes I completely agree with your opinions.
These badges are sewn on a little bit strange Sahariana... The whole seems to me too new and artificial aged...
