    Hello, can I get some help authenticating this patch? It looks original to me but I'm not familiar with British patches. The design looks a little different from other examples Ive seen. For example, I dont see a line splitting the front legs apart. Also, I have never seen a patch with a cardboard stiffener in the back. Thanks in advance!

    A well used original imo with user added card stiffener, all period, even with the missing line, which has just faded with use.

    Whatever its just an opinion.

    Thank you Jerry, I thought it would be pretty tough to fake that kind of wear & aging. Have you ever seen this kind of stiffener used on these patches before?

    I certainly see no issues with it being original to the badge, though probably not a common thing to see.
    Regards,
