Fake Imperial Service Tablets
Saw these on ebay and think its a good idea for people to take a look and see what they are like as no doubt they will be offered as genuine very soon.
Appear to be a one piece casting including rear fittings with a shoddy pin. If anyone can attach a photo from ebay it would be good. I dont know how. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WW1-briti...kAAOSwywRaEAsy regards |

It bloody annoys me when " ARSE WIPES " turn crap like this out.

Me too, why would you bother, original examples are very common and easy to buy.
|
They will be resold as original, with a healthy profit for the buyer :mad:
|
They are AWFUL. I worked in Lutterworth for 15 years so will put out some 'feelers'
|
I see the item has ended not soon after starting!
Interesting. |
Item description states "Used":confused:
By who? |
I'd feel 'used' if I had bought one!
|
Fortunately, original examples differ and they are much finer.

Agree with all!
I posted some pics of some "personalised" tablets (one with 3 GS buttons the other with an "ASC" (Alley Sloper's Cavalry) shoulder title added) a while back. Has anybody seen anything similar? I was once also told by an antique dealer that he had just sold a SILVER, hallmarked example. Possible, or was he in error? |
Indeed, it appears not to have taken very long for these to filter through into the antiques and "collectables" trade, I spotted one being sold in a shop a few days ago, disappointing! :(

Hi
Still keen to know of anyone has seen any period Imperial Service tablets with additions such as the two I posted pics of. Logic says that if I've got a couple, there must be more out there. If you look at pics of troops entraining you can easily see the tablets against the dark cloth. I've got an informal postcard of a Scot wearing his tablet on his uniform. If there is interest, I'll post it! |
