Hi Stephen
US Shoulder Sleeve Insignia was controlled by Office of the Quartermaster-Heraldic section.Which designed the official "patch" and how it was to be manufactured-basically fully embroidered by a schifli embroidery process. There were NO printed authorized "patchs."
So look at this way, as a British made formation sign and compare it to say Parachute Regiment CST ,Pegasus and Commando printed examples of known legit and reproduction pieces. One can easily tell the difference.
Bruno Boulanger has one in his book , but again there is no provenance of anecdotal evidence.
