Default 3rd Carpathian Div & 8th Army

These patches were acquired in a recent deal, but I am out of my comfort zone on the 3rd Carpathian Div patch. Good, bad, ugly? It came with the two 8th Army badges, but that doesn't really mean anything.

No opinions on the 3rd Carpathian?

Bill;
Good Italian woven 3rd Carpathian in my opinion. Mine are identical. The 8th Army pieces are probably Italian made as well.

100% good. These were the issue pieces. There were literally 100's of variations of these made in field but the piece shown is the issue one. I used to have a huge collection of 3 DSK items. My Granddad served with them in Italy so I have a fondness for these patches.
