51st. highland division patch

[jwp]

spotted this on the site of a seller I just bought a plastic RASC cap badge, it's listed as a ww2 wool unissued patch, could anyone advise if its good ?, pics are from the seller,
many thanks,
John.

Hard to date these, it could be post war as it is not a glue back or a printed version which are the two versions I would expect to see from WWII.

Thanks Jerry, I was unsure as it does differ in construction from the ww2 versions of the 78th div patches I have,
thanks,
John.

As I mentioned John, if I was pushed I would think it is the post war version, as even though some WWII patches do have this type of reverse, the mesh backing is not the type/grade of mesh i like to see. It is a commonly seen patch and I would wait for a more typically WWII example.

thanks for the advice Jerry, I will wait and see if I can locate a ww2 example,
John.
