Glider Pilot Regiment shoulder titles

[DougSA]

Recently purchased this embroidered GPR shoulder title and would appreciate expert opinions on whether it is genuine...

My grandfather served with the regiment during the war. I already have a few printed versions, which were given to me by veterans who served with him. I have been a bit hesitant to purchase such items, due to the proliferation of fake/repro items on the market. Any insights appreciated!

Hi,

This is a good one.

I was also given this one a few years ago by a serving member of the Army Air Corps, who picked it up somewhere, but suspect it to be fake. It has a tangle of threads on the reverse (will try to scan in later)...

The first one is a genuine title, glue back pattern it is called. The second one you show is a recent replica.

Much appreciated!

Much appreciated - I am glad that I did not pay anything for the second one!
