The left-hand example is an original; the right-hand example is a very clever copy of a known woven wool badge, probably made in Pakistan. (These items do not belong to me and are not for sale.)

The buckle arrived today in good order, many thanks for the speedy delivery. A nice buckle, as described, and a welcome addition to my collection. Will revisit your website regularly for other items of interest.

...the sword arrived safely today... My son, who shares my interest in antique edged weapons and for whom I bought the sword, is delighted.
