Default Opinions on these airborne titles, patches and strips please

Gents,

Bought these titles, patches and strips a long time ago and always had doubts about the authenticity.
Can you help please?
All opinions are very welcome.

Kind regards,

Marinus

These are made by Steve Kiddle of Pegasus Militaria. He has been making them and selling them to re enactors for the last 20 years. They are the best copies available but still have details wrong

I'm not sure these are from Steve Kiddle as they are different from the ones I bought from him some 15 years ago. Still, I agree that none of these are genuine.

You are certainly right to have doubts, they all appear to be of recent manufacture.
