I don't know about rarity but the stuff I traded cost me about 5 bucks when I got them. With this patch and the para regt badge the asking price was 40 bucks.

Another 1 Can Para Officer's Badge - opinions?

Saw this for sale on evilbay. I suspect it may be a modern repro from Joe Drouin but the seller lists it as original and will accept returns. Opinions please?
