Is this example any good? It is not the N Wales collectibles version. The seller does say it is PROBABLY a copy.

Thanks

Jerry,
It is good, as a £3 gap filler, otherwise completely reproduction!

Andy

Many thanks Andy. A learning curve for me on these so glad to have you there to steer me in the right direction, away from it in this case.

Note the fat dumpy feathers: these are found on many ebay fakes.

Thanks Alan, much appreciated.

Jerry,
I did do a bit of a "Fake Spotting Guide" for POW Plume based badges, but I cannot seem to find the thread? As Alan says the "Fat Dumpy" feathers are not a good sign and also the smooth Christmas cracker "Party Hat"! I've used you image to indicate, hope you don't mind?

Andy

No problem Andy and glad to see any clues on these. The image is the sellers, not mine, I just borrowed it.;) and have now deleted it and added a link instead.

Whoops, using images without the owners consent is naughty, neither is it entirely lawful, you should post a link instead!

Andy

Fixed it.:(

Jerry here is a genuine one for your reference
Malc

Thanks Malcolm.

I had done a search on the forum before I asked and had found a few, and I assumed it was a bad one, but it does not hurt to ask.

I now have an image of a good example that I can find for easy reference in the future, thanks to you.

Hopefully Andy can find his guide to POW badges and add a link if he has the time.

Jerry

The POWFs you have shown above ...are a very common repro, you will find that particular type for nearly all the Regiments that have the POWFs.

This has just come up on eBay.... total fake :D http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-WW...-/190950345280

Below are a couple of examples....

Thanks Griff, those you show are all bad I assume with the christmas cracker crown as highlighted by Andy.

Jerry,
a smooth Christmas Cracker Crown, if you at the one Malc posted it is seeded and 100% Pucker!

Andy

The kind of POWFs Malc has posted is an old type...... you can see a bit more detail below in the same bronzed type below.
