May I please have opinions on these 3 SAS related insignia.

Original or fake?
WW2 or post-war?

wing looks good, beret badges not so

Is the wing the so called 1944 pattern?

Indeed the beret badges are weird, although one clearly has some age to it.

Thank you for the comments

Hello, How do they artificially age it?

[Frank Kelley]

Yes, most people do usually refer to it, they were made here, from an ordnance sealed pattern, there is less variation, unlike the earlier examples that were far more of a cottage industry being produced on campaign.
I like them very much, the only other thing I would add would be not to pay too much, a huge number were made, they are not rare.
