Wow - I know I've seen the modern remakes of this all over the place - but this may be the first of this patch i've seen of the paki fakery -were they faking Italian on the front?

Reminds me of the fakes that came out of England several years ago.I think the seller was Andew Butler.A seller called OLD CLUB Badges sells the same style fakes on ebay.,,,,heavy thread construction,wool base material and poor details to the designs.

 

If you search the forum there are several topics with the Butler/Club patches shown

You have a better chance of hitting the lottery than seeing this patch for sale, and if you are willing to spend what it would take to buy one you better know what a real one looks like.Just look at the above by Scotty. You can't fix stupid and that patch being offered is just STUPID.

Thank you guys for calling my attention to his reputation, I had considered purchasing something from this seller to add to an airborne collection I am trying to start but have rethought that after reading some of what has been said about him by other member.
