Recce Corps shoulder titles

[ravrick]

Hi, I would appreicate some thoughts on this pair of titles, they are the printed type having been removed from a tunic/jacket.

Cheers, Rick

I have some concerns about these. The stitching is incredibly "neat" almost machine done, and the "wear" on the titles is too even, one title compared to the other.
However, the biggest concern is the thickness of the titles. They appear to be much thicker than the normal issue canvas. There is also the absence of the "cut hatches" or lines found on the title. They should be evident, but none are seen.

Hi, unfortunately they are probably wrong, the R, C & S are different from the examples I have, also the letters are too thin. It looks like who made them copied an embroidered title. Sorry, Mike.

Rick,

I have been collecting to the Reconnaissance Corps for over 12 years. To add my two ha'peths worth. These titles are the fakes sold by Greybear on eBay. There are to my knowledge 2 different patterns of printed titles and this is not one.
I have photographed a selection of titles for reference.

Regards,

Les.
