If they were to be for sale from a seller in Croatia...then all three would real ...#3 is really a nice piece though :thumbsup:

[patchguy]

Geez... this is a tough choice... I'll wait for tredhed and mortyc to weigh in on it...

[one50]

To help you guys make an informed decision I will give you a clue. Patches #2 and #3 do not glow.

Which one? :think:

 

Before I purchased this patch, I had never seen one in person. I figured an original was a small shoulder patch I was surprised to find out it was large 4.5ish inches.

 

And yes it's patch #3 Good job guys.

Patch # 3 is sweet.

Here's mine. Jon

[Johnny Signor]

I'd go with number 3 also , it just has that look of "Old"

No question it is #3. It is a real tuff one to find and took me along time to obtain. As to size if you have the Trading Post issue with Les Hughes airborne article you can easily see the jacket size of the patch. One of my fav

orite patches. Mort

 

Thanks Patchguy for puting me in company of Dave but I can assure you he knows more about this than I do.

#3

[Steverino]

#3

At the risk of sounding snide, if it took anyone more than two microseconds to know that #3 was the real one then you need to do some serious studying and talking to experienced collectors to know what to look for. Those kinds of patches are so rare that the "lessons learned" are too expensive when taking stabs in the dark about authenticity.
