I don't know why the seller thinks they are original, or, perhaps he knows very well that they are not!

Here is one of my 18th Battn.ones...as you can see it is one piece as opposed to the Ebay ones where the number appears to have been soldered on. This one came with the medals and silver cap badge.

I also think the discoloration of the metal indicates recent application of heat and there are some spots on the Kings banner which look like they ate ftom casting as opposed to being stamped out

It will be interesting to see if more appear, hopefully the buyers realise they have been duped and get their money back
