Real or Fake ?
Hi ,
I'm ex army (Artillery) and collect various poppy pins , especially the "Centenary" ones.
I have all 4 of the "Provenance metal" ones , I thought that using old artillery fuses to make objects to commemorate those who died to be very touching and appropriate.
I recently saw online a 2018 poppy ( not the usual 1918-2018 one) and was not sure if it was a genuine item issued/sold by the RBL or simply a fake/counterfeit ?
Any help/advice would be appreciated as there are so many people trying to cash in on the "Centenary".
Will post some photos of my collection at a later date.
Thanks
Mike V
