Royal Navy Rate Badges - Real or Copies
Hi,
I am looking for some guidance in determining real from copy rate badges, especially WW2 era. I have seen the excellent guide by RCN on here, dated 2008. This has certainly given me confidence on some of the badges I have recently purchased. However, I have the following badges that I am still uncertain of.
Can you please assist in letting me know if they are are real or fake.
This first badge appears to meet the guidelines illustrated by RCN. However, this badge appears to be embroidered with synthetic fibres.
Many thanks,
Andy
