I am pretty certain the authentic ATC patch was up for sale on eBay within the last 12 months, I remember the crease/fold down the middle.

There is no doubt this is put together. Look at the almost mouldy obviuosly very dry state of the jacket leather in comparison to the leather outer border on the Transport Command patch! Personally I would even doubt the authenticity of the, and the cloth one doesn't look old either.

And it's not a military-issue A-2. Note the snap at the top of the wind flap, where the hook & eye would be on a real one.
