Default Women's Home Defence Patch

I have seen a few of these floating around and am torn if I should pursue one. In Jon Mill's book on he Home Guard he makes no mention of it. The other thing that bothers me is that they never seem to have any age to them. The most concerning aspect is the back, which to me reeks of Pakistan made.

Would appreciate what others think.

Well, you know, ask yourself, what it is actually supposed to be?

I have seen previous ones go for some pretty hefty sums though. When in doubt trust Jon's book and this forum unless one can prove otherwise!!!
