Opinions please on "Land Forces Adriatic" patch
...picked this up amongst some other bits as a job lot for £7.
Liked the fact that design has bled through and stitching to surround. Can anyone confirm if this one is correct or a copy. Thanks Steve |

Hello Steve - It may have a chance. Here are a pair in an RSR grouping from a Rhodesian veteran, through Bosleys years ago, for comparison.
Yours look to be on more 'course material' in that ridges are more pronounced - and slight difference in colour - but that may be lighting or symptom of different ageing factors. I add embroidered ones too - not the same grouping - purely for reference Last edited by Mike B; 10-11-22 at 04:45 PM. |

The vendor (dhcomet45) has had some 'interesting' other printed items for sale over the years including SAS wings and cap badges, LRDG beret badges and the like so I would treat with caution regarding originality.
Best regards, Andy |

I got these from dhcomet. Undoubtedly replica, neither was sold as original.
Also saw a recent offering of LRDG pay book with printed wings and patch, the latter identical to my own. Again, openly sold as replicas / props. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165767466...is&media=EMAIL |
