Arrow Trying to date this 7th Armoured Division Flash

Good day folks

I'm trying to date this 7th Armoured Division flash. Can you help?

It appears to be woven so I suspect post war and may be quite recent.

Many thanks

James

Looks very much like a pair I posted a few years back, which I was told were Brabant weave, meaning they were 1944-45.

James,

I recently looked into the same question and hopefully have got the correct badge to the correct period, the attached images show left to right - the UK pattern after the div returned to the UK, the Brabant weave pattern from late 44, and the occupation era pattern with the cloth backing.
(Any corrections/updates welcome.)

Am I right in thinking that the left sign is occupation period and the middle one post return to UK?
Can anyone date the right hand sign please, or for that matter date any of the badges more precisely??

A double check - I have the uncut printed pair labelled as fake, am I correct with that identification?
