kaszanka Posted June 25, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 25, 2019 Hi Guys !! I am selling this patch on this forum: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/329282-german-made-airborne-patch/ one of the members sent me a msg stating that it maybe a modern fake I spot one exactly like this here: https://www.flyingtigerantiques.com/wwii-or-post-wwii-us-army-airborne-overseas-cap-patch-bevo-weave-german-made.html and here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-Airborne-German-Made-Hat-Patch-Para-Glider/360348415535 are these real ?

vintageproductions Posted June 25, 2019 Share #2 Posted June 25, 2019 Yes, it is real. Some think it is German made, others think it is French made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John4022 Posted June 25, 2019 Share #3 Posted June 25, 2019 100% Authentic. I'm one of the French made believers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Jerry Posted June 25, 2019 Share #4 Posted June 25, 2019 I think it's German made myself, as that white mesh is very similar backing to that used on the late war SS runic tabs. But whatever it is, it is real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted June 25, 2019 Share #5 Posted June 25, 2019 Very interesting, I haven't seen this before. Has anybody here other German made U.S. insignia made in the same manner (border, mesh backing etc.) like the posted Airborne patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaszanka Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted June 25, 2019 Thank you for replys ! I have no horse in this german-french race all I can say is that I got my patch from a flea market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John4022 Posted June 25, 2019 Share #7 Posted June 25, 2019 Here was a good thread that expanded on these style of patches. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/307961-italian-82nd-woven/?hl=%20bevo%20%20collar%20%20tab Its an interesting read!

Wake1941 Posted June 25, 2019 Share #8 Posted June 25, 2019 Your patch is an excellent example, people should do their research before claiming something is fake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadet Posted June 25, 2019 Share #9 Posted June 25, 2019 A very nice original patch....and German-made IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne-Hunter Posted June 26, 2019 Share #10 Posted June 26, 2019 French Made...German Made...I've heard Italian made on this one too. Best ABN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadet Posted June 26, 2019 Share #11 Posted June 26, 2019 As I mentioned in the linked thread, there is no logical connection between these "BEVO" 17th Abn patches and Italy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
