Clever Marketing?

I have limited knowledge regarding Enfields. I have seen military 4X2's for cleaning but is this clever marketing or is it bogus?

Bah, those are not the official DND Lee Enfield cleaning patches.

I've got lots. You can tell the real ones 'cause they have little "LB" watermarks on every one.;)

Upon reflection I guess the question was kind of dumb. But it is how we learn. Thanks guys.

No, it's not dumb :) But dude who is flogging those has a great idea! They look real and are likely identical to the yellow aged ones - except new! ;)

It is great marketing. It gets guys to view his item who wouldn't normally see it.

I was joking about the DND patches. We're issued plain, pre-cut rectangular patches about 1x3 inches. No LB marks but they work fine in a No.4.:)

I got a few stashed away still, but I find those old flannel shirts that my wife was threating to throw out work just fine when cut into little strips.
