Default Ww2 101 Troop Of N. 6 British Commando Scarce Patch

To members of the forum,
Would be extremely curious as to the assessment by members as to the following two items appearing on e-bay for a short time then removed.
Ww2 101 Troop Of N. 6 British Commando Scarce Patch Special Forces SBS SAS
The precursor to Special Boat Service (SBS). ORIGINAL.

Hi Jim,

I'd say both are reproductions lacking the finer details of originals.

A search for Lt Doug Russell, 101 Troop, 6 Cdo will lead you to an excellent photograph of the genuine sign. Alternatively search in the Commando Veterans Association.
