That one is no good I'm afraid, horizontal stitching is rarely found on original shoulder titles. I think you will find the white backing material is flammable synthetic material.

Parachute regiment titles are fakes, GPR looks like an original glue back but I would like to see some close ups to be sure.

New fake AAC cap badge

Here's an AAC cap badge that I picked up recently, it was cheap and ssold as a fake.

It is the best copy I have seen so far, the lugs are not like original ones but that's the only big flaw.

I would agree, in my experience a veteran wears his original cap or at least something identical.

This cap would be more appropriate for people like Angus Young.

The hallmarked badges from my collection have solid silver lugs; unmarked or sterling silver badges have brass or again solid silver lugs.

I only know of Gaunt made examples, though I have one with a QC so they are not limited to WW2.

It is not from 1953 either, Kangol...
