harribobs Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 doesn't look too good to me, a poorly stamped copy IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 doesn't look too good to me, a poorly stamped copy IMHOThanks, I've still not had it in my hands but it came with a group of medals I bought a while back. I'll be collecting them when I get back home in March.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Looks okay to me.........Cheers Leigh.I now have the badge with me and it feels nice and heavy in the hand. It came with this little lot http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6886...hl=albert+evans and a few weeks back I managed to buy his plaque so have my first reunite. I'm going back home for the weekend next week and will pick it up.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Maclean Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Looks OK, I like what appears to be a slight taper to the slider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh kitchen Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Some people dismiss all tapered sliders out of hand as fakes, some years ago a faker used tapered sliders, but not all badges with them are fake. And I think it was "FM BHAM" who producrd genuine badges with manufacturer marked tapered sliders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spionKopKid Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hi chaps. just wondering why "fakes" would exhist for this medal, are the originals worth a considerable amount, I thought they were only 5 to 10 only?Just asking as i have one of these I'm looking to sell.

spionKopKid Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 replace "medal" with "badge" above, got a bit carried away with my first post!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh kitchen Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Even the most common badges are faked nowadays, the existence of original old dies no doubt helps make current production of common badges economical for the replica / fake manufacturer. It's a bit of a surprise to think that cap / beret badges to the LF ceased to be worn for coming up 50 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
