Kind of as an aside to this thread. If soldiers are wearing these PRI badges then would they not also be considered as good badges even if not MOD issued?
I ask this because when I was collecting airborne there is a Type 8 101st patch that currently goes in the $1,500 range. It was not an officially issued badge but one that was contracted for by the division prior to D-Day to be given to the officers and any left overs to the senior NCOs. Airborne collectors this a valid patch.
Thanks,
Terry
