Old Marine Posted April 29, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 29, 2019 Hello All, I have had these patches for years and never really knew if they are originals or reproductions. These were flea market pick ups a long time ago. When it comes to TR stuff I can identify what it is, but I am at a loss as to deciding if its real or a repro. I would like to get your observations and opinions. I appreciate your help and thank you in advance. Thanks Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John4022 Posted April 30, 2019 Share #5 Posted April 30, 2019 I'm sorry to say but both pairs of collar tabs are bad and so is the bevo sleeve eagle. The bullion sleeve eagle is out of my expertise so I cant comment on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Marine Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted April 30, 2019 Thanks John, I figured they were bad but just wanted to run them past more knowledgeable collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwb123 Posted May 4, 2019 Share #10 Posted May 4, 2019 The bullion eagle looks typical of what you see coming out of Pakistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Jerry Posted May 7, 2019 Share #11 Posted May 7, 2019 Just confirming what my colleagues have already said. These items have been fooling people since the 1960s and will sadly continue to do so. I think there were more of those sleeve eagles sold than the SS actually used... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Marine Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share #12 Posted May 8, 2019 Jerry, I agree with you, I have always thought there was more TR stuff produced after the war than during the war, which is why I have stayed away from it all. Thank you all for your help and helping learn about this stuff. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
