Thanks for the information and advice , I have bought originals from 2011 till now from my local RBL poppy stand each year. Also got small/medium undated direct from Poppyshop.

I didn't know about the 'Rugby Pins' but have managed to get 4 of the new ones (couldn't get white) from a volunteer collector (all profits going to RBL).

One final question , was the "10 o'clock leaf" produced by RBL or another fake ?

Sorry for being a pain but I appreciate the help from someone who has first hand knowledge.
