50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division Formation sign help

Featured Replies

#1

I recently acquired a 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division formation sign to continue with my British patch collection.

I just wanted to post on here as my research is not conclusive.

Do any of you experts know if the manufacture type is a known variant, early war/late war.... or known reproduction.

 

The white on the reverse is obviously glue from a previous owners display technique, so i can forgive that, but has anyone have opinion on it authenticity of WW2 era production.?

 

Thanks guys👍

My personal opinion is late WWII or more likely 1950's.  You had a good amount of formation signs in WWII that were printed.  I would be happy to have one like yours in the collection.  I think mine is paper backed which were also seen in WWII...

P.s.  British Formation Signs are a lot more complex than US made patches, I can tell you that!
