48th Shako Plate - good or bad?
Hi Gents,
Can I ask for view on this shako plate? The seller say's genuine but I'm not so sure. Any thoughts? https://www.ebay.com/itm/26330651675...84.m1436.l2649 Cheerio, Roy

Hi Roy,
I think it is ok and shows good detail, obviously the issue of the two drill holes adjacent to the number is something any prospective buyer would have to consider, the fakes are usually quite heavy, if you are interested you may wish to ask what it weighs. Paul

Hi Paul,
Thanks for that. Yes the holes certainly put me off. It's not much money right now, so will be interesting to watch. Appreciate your comments Paul. Cheerio, Roy

Roy, you could fill the wholes with braze and buff them down.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for that, a good suggestion but I think I will just let this one go and wait for an undamaged example. I'm in no rush. Cheerio, Roy

Roy,
I think, from the photographs, that is original, however, it is certainly not a great example, you would be able to find a better one. Regards Frank Quote:
