after seeing Jo's post about the magnified medal ribbon, i used a 100x mag and there is alot of similaritys with a bevo ss arm eagle and an original first pattern raute and this 2nd one! have ordered a usb scope from amazon to show what i mean
in hand there is no maybe's about it, the wears good the oxidization of the silver wire where its being bent on the uniform all tell the story!
i thought what the heck i will blacklight them as i was going to meet a few friends at my fathers pub the night before last anyway (which has the blacklight)
here is the results below, now the focus isnt great so dont shoot me but i think it shows what we need to see, i forgot a modern made patch, so used my sock instead
all in all i am VERY happy to hold this insignia in my collection as an original! rare to find imo!
anybody else see/own an original?
