Default Suspecting All Are Fakes?

Gentlemen, I was doing some rearranging of some of my badges and have a very strong feeling that all of these are fakes. Would you please share your opinion.

















If any of the airborne badges are good, I will offer them for trade or sale as I no longer collect airborne.

Thank you,

Terry

Your suspicions are correct I’m afraid.

Just from photographs, sadly, I have to agree with you, with the airborne badges, original examples of the Parachute Regiment and Glider Pilot Regiment are very common, but, in the case of the Canadian Parachute Battalion, you would struggle, they are fairly scarce these days.

Thank you gentlemen, I am not surprised. The airborne badges I bought about ten-12 years ago, thetwo HG ones two are more recent. Oh well, live and learn!
