Rare 1st Design XV corps

[mortaydc60]

Want to caution forum members to this reproduction that occasional shows up on Ebay and elsewhere. From the front it looks great but the back is the give a way. It has greenish color thread on the back that is not on the original patches. These have been around for years, just a heads up.

Better pic of the back I hope

These are fairly good in hand, but the off green backing is the giveaway like you said. The guy who made these also made the football shaped service cmd

Yes correct and even a 101srODB if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the info.

For an original, always looked for a “flawed” blue line below the Roman Numerals (i.e missing thread)

Does this patch glow? And is the seller D&D collectibles?

Seller is Dandcoll. Do not think it glows if I remember correctly.

Here are three fake ones the two on the bottom do not glow at all the one on the top the edge glows  like a beacon.Scotty

Thanks Bill for posting the real version. Members note that all the ones that Bill shows all have the GREEN color thread on the BACK,which is the big tell to know it is fake/copy. First look at these from the front is a small ok, but the BACK tell the real story.
