Para Regiment Collar Badges

[marinus]

Good afternoon,

What are your opinions on this pair of collar badges, please?
The black spots on the pics are nearly visible when I hold them in my Hand.
To me these look brand new.

Thanks in advance,

Marinus

I actually was not aware that those had been copied, I don't recall ever seeing them, but, then I have never really bothered looking, the reverses look a little bright, although, I would think rather more were made than ever worn, it's the type of thing you encounter upon portraits of rankers wearing blue patrols, interestingly, beyond Suez.

Thank you for your reply, Frank.
I'm not aware either that these are copied/faked.
They're very shiny and never worn probably.
