Default Rh ACR-Any thoughts

Hello Gents

This amongst others has been faked to death.
What are your thoughts on this one?
The more the image enlarges the less plausible the stitching looks.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave, It looks okay, but with cloth it is very difficult. Cloth is too easy to fake and if the guy faking gets hammered in the first round, he knows what to change in the second round to make it look 100%. I hope it is good, it is a nice piece. Regards Andrew

Hi Dave. 100% genuine.Stitching on the border on the reverse should show a light colour running down the centre.One of the last commanding officers of the unit had a number of these which he passed on to collectors so they have been doing the rounds for the last couple of decades.cheers,Craig.
