That is a scary one, David. Obtaining a reference copy may be a good idea. I followed the link to their ebay store, and they have an extensive list of reproduced badges. They offer three Canadian shoulder titles that shouldn't pose any real problem to an experienced collector. These are printed 1 Canandian Parachute Battalion, and embroidered Airborne / Canada and VIII Cdn Recce / 14 CH titles. (I really don't understand why the VIII Recce is repro'd, as they are still available in embroidered pattern at reasonable prices.) There is also an odd "Canadian" parachute qualified badge they have listed as repro. It is in black embroidery on od with a red maple leaf, looking much more US than Canadian style.
