Not so sure myself, there are a few odd things, blanco on stripes looks like it goes under the wings, and the wings have a black backing cloth.

I'd really like a these if they are legit http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-WW2-cl...#ht_500wt_1156
but having used the forum before to get original items I hope I can use your knowledge again. I'm looking to put a display to a local man who died with the paras and feel including fake stuff would take away from it.



any thoughts?

The wings mounted on corporal's stripes are current replicas from Nicholas Morigi.

Oh dear, what a pity, more hard earned cash down the drain! Don't you feel a right charlie when you discover you have been had? I know, I have been caught out and by a "reputable" dealer. Keep smiling, and be aware in the future and put it down to experience.
