Default Rifles TRF Question.

I have a couple of rifles shirts with there TRF on them but also have one
which had its TRF missing so I bought one to replace it only problem is the TRF has a light green back ground and not the olive per shirts so has there been more than one issue of the Rifles TRF or is it fake .

The only thing that has changed with The Rifles TRF is the size.

What do you assume is fake, the TRF or the shirt ? Probably better to show a photograph of your query to void any confusion

More likely a variation produced for the shirts?

This one (below) was sent to me as a "Colour error"! The correct colour should be Rifle Green.

However that does not stop them being sold on ebay.

There is a slightly different size and colour sold by the military outfitters you find in most Garrisons, which means they are purchased and worn by the soldiers. A lot of the TRFs are not regulated (not sure if that is the correct word) as they are a purchase item.

With the introduction of the MTP Barrack Shirt which is the same design as the older CS95, all badges have to be sewn on. There is at least one Battalion in the Tidworth area are not wearing any badges (at the moment) on this shirt.
