    Well, if you want to buy garbage reproduction titles, it is a good buy.

    Check some online Fora. The British and Commonwealth Military Badge Forum is a good start.
    Airborne material is some of the most copied insignia in collecting. It is a minefield and should be very very carefully navigated. RESEARCH, RESEARCH and more RESEARCH. Online, at dealer's shops and buy reference material.

    Depends what you want it for. As a collector's piece it is worthless. If you want a display item.... I guess? Not for me though. I'd rather overpay for an original item than knowingly purchase a piece like this one.

    Just my opinion
