Force 135 insignia
Can anyone tell me what to look for when buying a printed Force 135 formation sign?
I think this item of cloth insignia has been reproduced due to demand and I have never seen or handled a genuine item. Thanks in advance for any information. Rob |

Should printed versions be suspect?

I cannot say anything about fakes as it seems everything can or has been faked at some point. However not all printed examples are suspect.
Here's my two force 135 badges, from a good reliable source. |

Force 135 CILF
This is a genuine example of the printed sign of the CILF, Force 135.

Thanks chaps for putting up the pictures of your badges, obviously printed versions are genuine and as you seem to have got yours from good sources they will provided a good reference.
Many thanks Rob |

Hi Rob
Here are a couple of fakes, quite a few have been reproduced over the years for the liberation commemorations. Rob |

Force 135
I have what I think is an original Force 135 formation sign, at least it looks the same as two of the printed Force 135 which have kindly been shown by Mike Jackson and Tynesideirish.
Thoughts welcomed on this specimen. Rob |
