Pegasus patch ID.....real or copy?

[mikeb102]

Good evening all, I would like to get an opinion on the attached pegasus badges. Original or worn copies?

[3battalion]

They look original from the front to me.

Good to see another Mike on the forum!

Hi Paul
So many 'Mike's' we could sing a song ... oh no, best not!

Nice Mike.

Maybe after a few beers!

Lots of Mike's for sure. Here is a pic of the back.

They look genuine to me. I would say post war.
Did you get them from Dave Hiorth in Toronto?

[mikeb102]

Yes I did. I have been looking for a while and can't seem to find any WW2 versions. Lots of copies being passed off.

In my view, fake pegasus are easier to spot with the printed version.
Welcome to the forum.

[mikeb102]

I've seen so many now, everything is starting to look the same. Fresh eyes on is my plan now before I continue the search.

Oliver Lock’s book provides good documentation...in addition to this forum of course!
Happy collecting

And that's why I am here. Thank you for your help.

These are well worn and genuine WW2 glue back pattern Pegasus patches.

Thank you Luc. I appreciate the feedback.
