The airborne battle group was desolved in 92 or 93 but I was on the rebadgeing parade as a gunner in October 1995. I was remembering 96 for some reason but now I am sure it was 95.

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?
