King's Own Malta Regiment, is it fake?

[Phil2M]

Hi guys,

I currently have the following badge listed on ebay, I bought it from a dealer as genuine a few years ago. I have been emailed, through ebay, to tell me that this badge is reproduction. I have changed the listing, but can anybody confirm that its a fake?

Hi Phil,
I wouldn't go as far as saying it is a fake but genuine items have 4 pins coming through to the back from the white metal cross.
Cheers, Tinto

Cheers Tinto,

There are no pins, also been pointed out that the cross is not embossed, so I will leave the listing as it is now. There is a watcher so, I will watch that space.

Thanks

Hi Phil,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this one is a dud as well mate:

The void above the PCO scroll and the "." London MM are the tell tales.

Hi Ry

Yeah I know, thats why its going. I replaced it with a nice lugged example. I have said in the description that the maker mark etc is believed to be repro.

Cheers

Phil
