WW1 19th Div sign - opinions sought
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hello all, I'm not a great expert on WW1 cloth. So I wanted to ask opinions on these - I am presuming 19th Division. As you will see they're slightly different. Is the construction consistent with a WW1 made cloth sign? They are said to have come off a tunic that was un-saveable because of moth. I'd very much appreciate the thoughts in them as to authenticity!

Best regards, and thanks.

Look very much like modern reproductions on the wrong cloth and 'roughed' up to make them look old to me.

I agree with Simon. the khaki cloth is too heavy and the random stains to the obverse are just odd and out of place.

I don't much like either and would certainly not buy them if they are being offered as original.

Thanks very much to all who've posted. Clearly not of the period.
