Standard bearer patch

[Newbie]

Hey guys, I'm considering buying this. It doesn't glow under a UV light and I like the construction. Looking for opinions, thanks guys!

Not a good example. Found on many many dealer sites unfortunately. I don't know if the dealers believe them to be authentic, or just don't know better. The dimensions are all incorrect on the example shown in the first post. Wim Saris has posted the dimensions and shows side by side examples of the regulation version and the reproduction version of this insignia on the H.J. Research Forum at this link:

Here are some good photos of the type you should be seeking if you want one of these for your collection. This example came from the Baker collection and is now in my possession.

Yes i had one of those a while back and i thought it was a good one. But it was our w. Saris that put me right. And you darin if i remember correctly 😊 needless to say it never went on my site but was filed under B for bin

Well the title of the posting says "need help!", I can only hope you did not waste funds on that awful reproduction insignia, but a lack of response here causes me to wonder.

[John Brandon]

you don't think it has something to do with your response Darin?...I do
It's all been said,

A thanks for those who helped would have been good to see.
