Bad cockades!

Been a while since I posted any misadventures!
Picked a lot the other day... got some different fake cockades for $1 :thumbsup: thought I’d share them with you guys. Sharing is caring, after all. Got a couple good medals out of the trip; but who cares about that normie stuff? :wink:

In all honesty, they look like original cocades to me.... I've had these exact same types that came in vet. Lots....
There are many variations as well as early and late war types.... Some even had cardboard red dots.... only takes I've seen were one piece plastic.... I wouldn't write these off so quickly.

Haha thanks John, they don’t have any stamps or marks at all, guess I assumed that meant they were repops....I’ll make a small post eventually about that DAF roster and merkblatt.
