Arnhem Jim website shows two examples , one from a private collection and the other from IWM . In both cases they have a white backing .

I can only reply from research not through ownership, but I would say not an original. There are images online showing the real thing and I have one saved to my computer.

I see this is another obvious fake being sold by one time banned special forces expert ex member on his eBay shop. How long before the excusers respond.
