53rd Welch Div. combo formation sign
I have been offered this combination sign and holding and after having it in hand, I think it is likely original. I know these are faked to death, but there are genuine ones out there. Any further comments welcome!

If I'm being honest, I'm never a fan of "double mounted" badges on combination patches. The purpose of the combination patch was to make is easier to attach the insignia to the uniform in one go. Why then mount the Arm of Service Strip and Battalion Patch onto a piece of material to attach it to another piece of material before attaching it to a uniform ? Doesn't make sense to me, so to answer the original question, sorry, I'm not a big fan, others may disagree...…

Well, I understand what you are saying about these. Photo evidence does show them in wear and I have seen so many ways they are constructed.
This one does have commensurate age and feel about it when held in hand. The edges have been zig zag stitched to help prevent the raw edge unravelling, which is a bit unusual. I believe it was intended to be stitched in one whole piece. CB
