doughboy Posted April 17, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 17, 2017 Hi altogether, I was offered a ledo road and a 17th ABN division patch and I would need your help if these are original.I had some doubts on the heavy stitched border of the ledo road patch so I tested it under blacklight.The white portion of the patch is handmade overstitched and the thread underneath this border glows.The 17th ABN patch shows no reaction under blacklight.I think that both patches are fakes but I want to be sure.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks. doughboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarbridge Posted April 17, 2017 Share #2 Posted April 17, 2017 I think you're correct...I would definitely say the two are fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwb123 Posted April 17, 2017 Share #4 Posted April 17, 2017 I don't like them either. They remind me of some of the Vietnam reproductions I have seen as far as the thread thickness and stitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
