Default Likely Popski fake

Hi everyone and happy new year.

I'm am in the long process of sorting and re boarding my badge collection, as you will have seen from previous posts fakes have crept in over the last 43 years most of which I've turned a blind eye to .......but no longer! Out with the wretched things lol.

I've really stayed clear of Special Forces badges has I have neither the expertise nor the deep pockets to collect them but I have been given stuff over the years I've been collecting.

I have always assumed they were fake but here goes.

First up PPA, this is still on the piece of card it came on which in itself looks old but of course that means nothing, also I have never tried to clean it front or back.

What do you think?

Cheers
Sean

Not disappointed Keith had expected that they were all fake that's why I just had to double check before getting rid of them
