This patch is found "always" on ebay. I am listing it here, as it is probably a reject series made. All the patches I have received directly from our Heli-guys that were there, have the UN-blue (light blue) edge and slightly different colors..
Fake/reject:
For reference: This patch is undisputably original from a technician that was there:
These are known, commonly found on ebay and lately on QXL also... See elsewhere on my site for originals.
F-16 type-patch. Some wrong colors on details, but a good reproduction of this now rare patch.
Another "always" on ebay, FOL Ørland with Poor details. I have not encountered an original like this, pretty much inpired by the F-16 type patch:
336 Ground crew: Originals are not having embroidered green color, and many more details are not correct.
Fake NOAH patch, from e***, advertized now as NEW MADE in Japan:
ENJJPT fake patch, poor details..
A 100% fantasy patch sold on ebay, also advertized as made by seller.
More fantasy patches:
This CF104 patch is made by a collector in Ireland as a gap-filler. But beware, in the future some may try to sell/trade as original. Originals of this patch is EXTREMELY RARE!!!
Fake hour-patches for F-16:
3000 hours fake patch, but a good fake!
Recently (2008-) on ebay from various countries:
338 patches: Good repros, but completely embroidered.
Another:
336 sqd, also completely embroidered:
331sqd repro from spain:
Also from spain, 331 cyrillic text. Weak overlock and some thin letters and some wrong details on F-16 compared to original:
717 fake from spain on e***
Afghan Falcon, also from spain. Not a very good copy, and should be easily recognized as such.
Also from the same seller of patches from spain - copy of 337 rare patch. Wrong letters and details..
Same seller - Arctic Tiger 2007 , a good fake so beware. Eyes are a give-away.
Another 2012 fake but of poor likeness to original patch, this is from the far east and seems to be about 11cm diameter:
From the same seller as above, never made in such colours either..
Fake 338 Tiger sqn patch from Spain:
Fake EoT, also from spain and not a good repro.
Fake from spain - First Solo
From ebay, and from greece, In my opinion newly made repros of 335, 717 and 331 sqd.
And a repro of 60 years 333sq:
Sold on ebay all the time now in 2010, fake 331Sq and MEB:
Here is the 331Sq fake in same size as I scan all original patches, it is much smaller than originals.
Double size for details of fake:
Recently on ebay from Germany - in my opinion home-made cast m/83 para-wings. All original issued wings are stamped hollow with 3 prongs.
