Default Royal Berkshire helmet plate

Gentlemen
Here’s another silver metal helmet plate, it appears all good but is the center correct ?
Kind regards Chay

Chay,

The HPC is fake. The bent over loops at the rear are designed to prevent you looking at its rear. The should be straight of course.

As the the HP, well I'm not sure. A crisp stamping BUT the loops are also coated in WM which wouldnt happen on a real one, they would be darkened copper.

Something alltogether suspicious about the whole item.

regards
