Armoured Carrier Regiment

Looking for opinions as to if either of these shoulder titles are original or copies

Hi Oliver, An image of the back would be useful.

Here is a pic of the back

Top one is repro, note the fuzzy batten type material. The bottom one appears to have had the shredded paper backing which is found on some UK made titles circa the end of the war.

Thanks Bill, thats what i figured

Sorry Gents, both are repros.

The bottom one, with the newspaper found in the backing is of 1980's construction.

You'll notice the stitching is nearly identical on both, just a different thread used.

If you want to see a genuine late war pattern, look no further than our own post 1920 project.

A very detailed and well illustrated post on the subject.
