Default Fake Fereday made 69 Pattern Web Belt

Fake Fereday made 69 Pattern Web Belt

The 69 Pattern web belt shown above is genuine but it was never made by Fereday & Son's in Salisbury.
  • Fereday & Son's never made web belts.
  • The seller states that "on the back of the belt it is hallmarked with the initials 'F.S.' This shows that the item is an original web belt made by Fereday & Sons."
    The fact is that the rivets are stamped F5 not FS as stated.
  • The belt is not rare or unique, only on the seller's listing.
  • Fereday & Son's used cloth labels on the items they made ie., camo vests, magazine pouches etc.

Hi Peter,

Have you contacted the seller to let them know. If so what was their reply if any.

Not this one I haven't but to my knowledge he was contacted by another collector.
As far as the Grey's Scouts rank slides I did contact the seller who never answered.
The seller of the badges that include the so called RhSAS OR's beret badge I haven't contacted. He has reported me to ebay four times and I stopped contacting him. I do however have many emails and ebay messages where he informs me that I don't know what I'm talking about in very colourful language.

Thanks for your answers, I am going to start a new thread rather than ask more questions here.

Regards Ben
