Hi Steve, these are bad copies I’m afraid. You should be able to document your self on this forum with numerous examples of original patches.
Cheers

Default Airborne Forces Formation Badges

Hello Steve,
You may want to glance at this article on my blog page; https://arnhemjim.blogspot.com/2017/...aria-wwii.html . Again, with acknowledgement and gratitude to tcrown(Pierre) for his assistance. There are additional articles on British Airborne Forces and their insignia which may be of interest.

apart from the obvious lack of bleed though that you noted, there are other clues to show these were not good. Some of the indian Airborne peggies do not have bleed through
