It seems like this is becoming the fake reporting blog. Here’s today’s featured un-described fake – a Tenderfoot Achievement patch.

Ok, where to start. Maybe I should play this as ‘find the mistakes in this picture’ game. Being cut-edge is not the give away although the original issue is on square kahki people did cut these down when they put them on their uniform.

Mistakes – CD with polyester thread – these came out in the era of loom embroidery and mostly were of silk thread or some later ones may have had cotton. They did not have a creslon back. The embroidery was more distinct and detailed. The color of the twill was brown khaki, not green. There weren’t that many stars on the eagle’s shield. There are more, such as the design of the eagle, but they are not as easy to pick-up.

Unfortunately one of our customers got burned thinking they were getting a bargain. If they had only contacted us, we would have told them.
