Major reproductions. Hope you don't have much in them.

Yikes, those are unmistakeably reproduction. Very recent make too, from "6thJune1944" I believe...

We have posted examples of the real thing in the Canadian post 1920 project section.

Hope I am not too late here, but this prompted me to go dig out my ACR title for opinions. the back is covered as you can see and was glued into an album so not much to see there. I always felt it was good but would like to here other opinions

Hi Irish, Your title looks like one of the late war Brit pattern embroidered patterns. Can you peel the backing back a bit?

Thanks for the link. Have peeled back the backing material and it has the white fuzzy material, so from the post this must mean repro. Drats fooled again.
thanks
Jack
