Default Phony 2Div officers

It has stitch holes,barely visible, it is safe to say that it has been removed from a uniform,though no "SAVVY" Cdn officer would have it in sight of senior officers,I should think hehehe! ouch!

Hello Sipke, Could you describe the blue found on your patch? Is it a really dark royal blue, or is it more medium blue?
The officers' CII patch was worn in both WW1 and WW2. There is a difference in the base colour of the patch. The CEF patch was a really dark shade of blue, and the WW2 patch more a medium blue. To confuse matters even more, some dark blue officers' patches were used early in WW2.

Hi Sipke, That one looks good. That backing is also seen on other WW2 era Canadian cloth.

And i got my self a other one.
This time fully embroidered.



Do these come in the printed version?
Bgpipes has a phony one(so it seems), but is it possible that they are made during the war?

Hello Spike, There were no formation patches made in cavas with the CII. The 2 CID patch was made only in the plain blue canvas pattern.
