Default Polish Airborne Collar tab opinions

Hi all

Can I have opinions on this tab.

I have never seen an original piece and this one ticks all the red flags on collecting cloth insignia,both sides tea stained or aged,material used , thread etc.

It looks to be a repro of a British made Polish tab.

Were original cloth pieces embroidered on 2 piece felt in Britain during the war?

cheers

Phill

I would agree that the artificial aging and spaghetti back point to a modern Far East repro.
