Hi Geoff
I looked at the guys other auctions,the US Eighth air force patch he is selling is also a fake,I have seen many,many originals and a number of fakes and this is definitely the latter.I have seen a lot of patches made in this way on the UK collectors market in recent years,I have an idea who is making them but I can't say for sure so it wouldn't really be fair to name names.

It is getting to the stage now that most militaria is faked to some degree.there used to be a seller on ebay,don't know if he's still trading,who produced such things as Battle of Britain pilots log books,signed photos,medal citations,US airborne groups etc and they were very good fakes.

It's a great shame but if people think they can get rich quick I guess they will do it.
