Just about! But the BMM Greece is a pretty high fidelity reproduction of the original, hand made, originals. Many of his other reproduction cloth items are laughably inaccurate (which is a good thing). Mike

Yes the patch is a fake, albeit one of his better fakes.

The seller only deals in fakes, and in the description uses a disguised disclaimer:
"PLEASE SEE OUR RANGE OF OTHER POLISH, FRENCH US & BRITISH ITEMS IN THE EBAY SHOP MADE BY 6THJUNE1944.COM BADGE"

I have to say its pretty clear to any buyer that these are not original nor is the seller stating that they are. Not sure what the fuss is about. I assume he is catering to the reenactment market.

I dont believe 6thjune1944.com company would have existed in ww2 do you? Great space fillers, look at his feedback on ebay for positive comments. Maybe the badges are made laughabley bad or collectors would not know the difference?

I think the clue is in the description "3 sold". Not a tremendously rare badge, but sought after. Seems to be a case of "how many do you want?". Like the Pakistani/Chinese companies who spam us every so often.
