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.
