    UV is only good at indicating “modern” fabric, it would also give a false positive to an item washed in phosphorus “modern” detergent.

    Construction is typically the key to identifying period patches.
    Apparently there is now a spray that removes the phosphorus ( or whatever it is) in modern natural fabrics that makes the UV test useless.

    it was discussed here or over on GHW a short while ago
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    I remember reading something about how nowadays the UV test isn't 100%, but since the lot of patches have been in a box for probably multiple decades, I figure it wouldn't really hurt to try.

    I'll probably post them sometime in the future if further research/UV test doesn't give me a decent answer.

    If I had to guess I'd say that patch on the left is some sort of free french or town patch maybe. Has a good look to it though
