Default V. COMMANDO shoulder title????

Cannot work out how to find old threads tried the search function but gave up!! So!! Most likely a copy but amongst some good shoulder titles bought, but the rear looks the part if wrong? Is it in too good a condition? or kept and never worn?

Here is a V . COMMANDO title am aware there are lots of copies! this isn't like those have seen being sold as such only because of rear! But could be an old copy? but a copy is a copy!

Many thanks in advance Billy

Paul has it covered Billy - but just to note the IWM example in the link Paul provides is obviously incorrectly identified as 'V' Force - it is V Commando (5 Commando) as you have both picked up.
