Hello,

Hi

The picture is not high quality, can you post other one(s)?

I attach my pair which I believe to be genuine.

Best regards,

The titles posted by appie b are repro. Note the rounded edges on the lettering, and the overall lack of "crispness" on the lettering.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply's, this is confirming my suspicions about these titles.

If I look at the ones you posted the colour is also different. (light blue with blue lettering right ?)

Here is a clearer picture, but The difference is clear.

These go back to the former owner.

Hi

I attach another genuine worn example. It has become much ligther due to wear.

Kind regards

Appie, yours are replicas indeed, possibly from Pegasus Militaria. The ones shown by Jean-Baptiste are correct.

Thanks guy's,
