Seller: hornbeammilitaria ✉️ (6,100) 99.6%, Location: Bromsgrove, GB, Ships to: WORLDWIDE, Item: 324497801619 Reproduction WW2 Era Army Physical Training Corps Arm of Service Strips (Pair).

Excellent quality reproduction arm of service strips.  These have been meticulously designed by ourselves and our manufacturer, utilising original examples, in order to produce a very close replica. 

The strips are machine sewn on felt, with either red or off white thread and a close match 'cheesecloth' backing. The style of stitching has been closely mimicked and the edges of the felt 'roughed' slightly to reflect the fact the originals were hand cut and not laser cut like modern manufacturing techniques would dictate.

The coloured strip itself exactly matches the size of the original specification (ACI (Army Council Instruction) 1118) at 51mm long by 6.4mm although as was common with British insignia during the War, there are many variations.  The felt backing can be cut down further to suit.
