Default Reproduction Canadian Rangers patch

Here is another copy coming out of the Phillipines. Should be no problem for collectors, as it is the wrong colours, and the merrowed border is not the type found on authentic patches. Overall, very poor quality.

eekkkkkk That's one ugly badge, Bill and this guy calls it "Army Special Forces Royal Canadian Army Rangers". Those guys would surely put Rambo to shame.
I wonder how he came to have a Canadian Rangers badge.....??? (to use as a model)

Not hard, they show up on ebay, and there are all kinds of images on the net. There is one image of a Canadian Rangers flag that appears to be the model for the patch. Of greater interest is how he got a model for the Battle Group Dragon patch? They are very hard to find.

Hey Jo, actually I got some static. One fellow was very tribal about the patches. Collectors aren't supposed to have them.... All they are going to do is resell them for a huge profit....
Other than that, no response.
