BRIT-MADE METAL & BULLION 'FRANCE' SHOULDER INSIGNIA, PARA PATCH

[breathnach]

All:  these insignia came from estate of a B-17 togglier / nose gunner based in England in '44-'45.  All comments welcome. Me:  just mosied from our sister site; it's good t/b aboard!

Thanks.

Notes: 'France" bar unmarked, cloth para patch is more yellow IRL, and bullion shoulder arc is removed....

That looks genuine to me.  It was made in England and worn by the 1st Air Infantry Company.  I have attached two of mine in my collection as well as a pretty good copy.  I don't know if the titles are genuine as I don't collect these.
