Hi all

I thought I would run this by British Formation sign collectors.

Is this a known embroidered British made "private purchase" examples?

Let me start of first about the story behind this and other US patches.

The US designed and had made a number of "Phantom" Divisions for operation Fortitude to deceive the Germans of a fictitious US Army invasion of Pas De Calais.

There are legit US made patches and then there is the "theatre made" variations of which the above 2 are known as Brit made examples.

They were also made in occupation Germany from catalogs which were put out 1944/46 period.

To date there is no confirmation of these being worn or used.

My main question is does anyone know of the above styles of construction amongst WWII/Post WWII era British Formation signs , now these could conceivably been a "private purchase made but where?

Any help would be appreciated.

Stumbled across this cuff title tonight which I think I could get for $130. I’ve looked at other examples closely, and it about matches them perfectly on the front. There’s some areas of threading on the reverse that aren’t like the examples I found (one circled in red below). Not sure if we’d expect every cuff title of a type to have identical thread patterns on the reverse? I thought it would be wise to post the photos here before even considering it any further.

Thanks for any feedback!

I tried to get better pictures, but the light is failing and I will have to re-attempt tomorrow. I have an ET64 with the lot code 1181. There is, I think, definitely a decal peaking out (better pictures tomorrow) and I’m hoping that someone could let me know if there is any way to tell which branch this helmet belonged to!

Cheers,

M.
