Printed 21 Army Group Patch from Cornwall Ontario Show - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

Just picked up this patch at the Cornwall show this morning from Lou Grimshaw. I traded my extra post-war Canadian RCA Titles for it and a WWII Para Regt cap badge. Since it is printed can I assume correctly that it is WWII and not post war BAOR?

Perhaps some of the Brits will add to this , but I believe printed patches were used into the post war era by the British army. The printed 21 Army Group patch is mainly associated with the wartime period.

Is this thing as rare as your trading indicates?

I don't know about rarity but the stuff I traded cost me about 5 bucks when I got them. With this patch and the para regt badge the asking price was 40 bucks.

OK now I can read your thread properly,You got the Para badge along with the patch. I read your thread as picking up the para badge & trading it the SAME DAY ALONG WITH YOUR RCA TITLES FOR THE PATCH.
