Default Recce Title

Any views on this?

I'm way out of my depth with cloth items but isn’t the spaghetti on the back a bad sign?

Thanks, Ivan

It's a very bad sign, but useful if you're looking for genuine signs and titles. Always ask the vendor for an image of the reverse.

Thanks Mike,

There wasn’t a vendor involved, it was with a whole load of very mixed militaria that was 'rediscovered' recently.

Up to a certain degree spaghetti can still mean the badge is original, but the example shown is a poor replica. See my album for various badge backings.

Interesting album on a much discussed problem, thank you for posting. "Looks OK from the front, then turn over"
