43rd Wessex Division
In Jon Mills article in the current edition of the Armourer Magazine he uses one of these Wyverns as an example of a WW2 Formation sign.
I had always assumed this particular version to be a crude reproduction or am I wrong? |

It is not a nicely made badge, it could very well be a replica.

That is the right representation, but as Luc says, that particular example is almost certainly a replica.

I recieved this one recently, I believe it to be original.

Its slightly different to the normal pattern but I would still say original.
The one to watch out as all the repro badge manufacturers make it is this pattern. Although originals do exist I believe it to be a post-war pattern. If anyone can disprove this please say. |

43 Wesex Div
Please find attached pictures of examples I own:
1) Printed version still attached to karhki BD shoulder with embroidered REME title. This could be late war or 1950's. 2) Close up of printed version. 3) Embroidered version. 4) Pair of woven examples on silk. Worn in the late 1960's by HQ 43 (Wx) Div/District. 5) A variation of the embroidered Wyvern but with red feet/claws. As yet unidentified. Hope this is of interest. Stephen. |
