Hello,

I believe this insignia to be reproduction. Your opinions please.

I don't even know what that letter i on red is, but it's certainly the simplest bullion embroidery I've seen.

The stifner material and badge cloth do not seem right to me either.

Look at the seller.....think that says enough.

[Fred Green]

Hello,

Actually it is not just the seller! We need to take a very good look at his wares. By construction and material alone we can see that these are reproduction patches. When I mention materials, look and see how many times the same white backing appears on the different "Original" pieces that he is selling.

I don't want this to become a witch hunt because of a name, I want collectors to be able to look at and tell me why a patch is suspect because of the patch itself.

Fred, I don't like them and put into the context with all the other stuff he sells, they are fake, he is obviously adept with cloth or has someone churning all this stuff out.
Has he given any response to all these concerns? Think it will pretty definitive if he hasn't.
Has there been any action from the Mods?

I dont like the course weave of the badge cloth. The ultra white backing is a turn off to me.

Good question. : These are also bad- http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=797061

This is really bad. And I am surprised that he is still a member. But hopefully moderators are working behind the scenes to change that.
