XX1 Independent Parachute Company for comment

A recent find with no provenance, heavily worn XX1 Independent Parachute Company name tapes I have used UV light and there has been no reaction.

I have scoured the Web and seen many poor quality copies and would appreciate peoples thoughts.

The third image gives a better view of the colour.

many thanks in advance

Note that UV light only works on synthetic materials, and then only when they are white. Coloured fabrics and cloths don't glow even if synthetic, and fakes made with natural fibres such as silk wont either. Its not a particularly reliable method.
