Default Good in parts

From left to right:
1. Jewish Brigade. Very difficult to be sure about these since most of those I have (and have seen in collections) are hand embroidered and made in either Palestine or Italy c 1943-45. Unless you know the provenance I would be suspicious.
2 This is a genuine 55 (WL) Inf Div sign which has been overstitched with a red 4 in order to make it look like the ultra-rare sign of 4 Indep Coy - from the earliest days of the Army Commandos. I think that the example on page 40 of PT's Allied SF Insignia 1939-45 is genuine.
3. 1 Armd Div. Fine
2. III Corps (or BFIG) - Fine
But with the caveat this these are my opinions only. Mike

Thanks Mike.
I am happy with your opinions, as they match my own. I just wanted confirmation from someone with greater knowledge than I, and I appreciate that they are opinions only.
However, they are as usual, much appreciated.
Thanks,
Fred
