I think the second one is legit. looks just like the pair i have.

 

The first one with the buttons looks artificially aged to me. I have an unissued brassard, with buttons, of similar construction that i believe to be of british origin. I think IMA sells them for 10 bucks.

Thanks subsystem.

Anyone else got a opinion about the 2nd one?

And what are your thoughts about this brassard: http://cgi.ebay.com/US-WWII-ARMY-MEDICS-AR...=item2311ce30a7

The one with the "M" serial seems legit, I'd have to examine it in person to say definatively. One the other, anytime I see something with that much "age" to it I get suspicious. I have several "straight from the veterans hands" brassards and several saw hard fighting and use in actual combat, none are even that close as far as soiling. Also the cross seems to come very close to the top and bottom seams of the band and that is something you don't generally see with actual issue U.S. brassards. I'd skip on that one.
