I think your patch is a genuine WW2 period example. To address Bill's comments on the repro artist using cotton thread. I don't think that is entirely correct. Some of the hand embroidered insignia coming from Asia is using a cotton base thread but I do not believe the machine loomed repro patches are being done with cotton thread. Additionally a blacklight test isn't foolproof. If a perfectly good WW2 patch were on a uniform when it was washed it may have a UV "glow" from the phosphates in the cleaning agent used. Garth
