This example is a lot more coppery than the others I have seen, so before I offer it up for sale does anyone have any doubts about it? I personally think its OK.
Thanks Rob |
53 views and no negative comments, so I will assume its OK.

Yes thank you I did see that thread, the price on ebay lately seems to be averaging a bit over £200 so I have tried it on there.
Regards Rob |
Hello,
I saw one recently in the Somme in a trade fair, It was the first time that I saw one. This one was in white metal with 1 hole at each end ... Unfortunately I did not take pictures. Many Chinese coolies have died in northern France where there are many graves in military cemeteries. have a nice day in UK! We are the best at football Ball! :D:D JPV |
The price was around 250 €
Not in my small budget. JPV |
There seems to be several on eBay at the moment. A seller in east Anglia has sold several and is listing again.
Would not touch it with barge pole. He peddles fakes, good ones at that. Do not buy off him. |

on ebay. One of many. Barge pole springs to mind. |

Alan, please make yourself clear, if this is a fake I need to remove it before someone bids on it.
Show us your originals so we can see what's what! Rob |

I'm sure I got this for nothing about 25 years back as I they are such poor items.

Nice, thanks for posting it.

Some good photos in the article. Sadly not high enough resolution to get a definitive answer. There’s also a picture of a CLC badge in the In Flanders Field Museum. One would like to think they have a genuine badge but as the IWM shows on many occasions that can be a dangerous assumption. The ‘lost’ film sounds very interesting. Cheers, Luke |
Thanks for the link, Luke. Some great pictures there.
Here is a link to another Chinese Labour Corps badge: https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...=Tinto+Chinese Cheers, Tinto |
