Thanks for the identification. I doubt if any are copies as they came from the MOD. They were part of a package only some of which I wanted and it was buy the whole or go without. So I doubt if they are copies, unless the MOD has been buying them which seems unlikely (not impossible, simply unlikely). Some of the ones which are stated to be copies for example the white horses head has been hand sewn onto khaki cloth and others have signs of having been sewn by hand onto a uniform [??] However I am NOT an expert which is why I decided to ask for advice.
The other part of the package from the MOD, which I did want, is an example DZ flash for every commonwealth airborne formation, including minor units. These are currently being framed.
