Hi
I know this badge is heavily faked but wondered what you all thought of these.
Cheers

Default HQ Br Tps Aden

Very difficult to say. In my opinion the printed sign is suspect but applied to to a genuine piece of KD. This is a very poor quality image of the only genuine example I have seen. I would imagine that all these signs were hand embroidered with multiple minor variations. This one is very close in outline to the one illustrated by John Waring JW1/409, noted as being "linen on linen".

A known fake from my fakes etc., album.

A rather good match to the new one on KD.

Yes I must admit my suspicion was that this is a fake stitched to a KD slip on, just never seen one presented like this before, the second one looked better but again my experience in spotting fake cloth badges other than the very obvious ones is not good,
