Hey guys, treading into unknown territory,I need help with this patch,I bought it on a whim through pictures only. Once in hand,I have my doubts.....it just feels new. I haven't done a UV check yet.....any opinions would be great, thanks in advance!
WW2 511th PIR patch......original or repro....I'm guessing repro!

It is not WW II. I really can't put a date on it and I am very suspicious of the back of the patch. I don't believe I have seen a back like that on any WW II patch before.
Lets see what the rest of the guys say.
Looks new to me as well.........
Below is one for sale on Ebay - $175:

Sorry the one posted is a reproduction, my father has two in his collection a patch not commonly see but not terribly high in price. You can get these for less than $70.00
Yeah thats a modern day computer generated repro patch. One of the ways you can tell is the reverse white stitching has a pin hole effect.
