Buyer beware
 
There are currently 5 modern special forces patches for sale on ebay.
All from the same seller.
Having compared them each with known originals it would appear that they are crude copies. The colouring differs from the originals and some of the finer details are absent.
Please be aware.

I think you might need to narrow it down a tad.

I concur with Airtrooper, this is the same style that was offered earlier in the year and unfortunately cost the buyer 300.00+

The seller calls himself 'Iorribut'

I like the description for his "Normandy MM Group" (the one with what look modern ribbons and the poor quality photos of the naming around the rim of the MM):

"ROYAL ARTILLERY BUT GOOD CITATION"

Its the same seller that sold the previous stuff.
The SBS badge is definately a toad ;) . More rubbish and more collectors getting screwed over.

SBS etc
 
I concur with airtrooper, they are dross and I have owned originals. Unfortunately someone has been stung! Private listing too - I wonder why!!
Best

Looks like some more suspect offerings, those with more knowledge than i may like to comment, various claimed SAS badges by this seller 'Pollard3004'

Private listing?
 
I have never quite understood this way of selling online and I don't generally bid on lots listed like this.

Mr Butler would appear to be using an alias, and if true as mentioned, it is a ‘private sellers’ account, he is breaking evil-bay rules.👺

I believe its his wife's account.
