Default Fantasy embroidered badges

This has been mentioned before, Embroidery Companies who make fantasy items and then flog them on line with the "suggestion" that there is some measure of official approval for them.

There is a company offering supposed Lancashire Hussars arm badges which are pure fantasy and just consist of an embroidered Lancashire Rose, I wont mention the name of the company but they appear to have a connection with that county.

The fact that these are being produced and offered for sale suggests some are being sold.

You can fool some of the people some of the time ( until they join the BCMBF ) but you cant fool all of the people all of the time.

P.B.
