The guy that runs the Police Memorabilia Collectors Club is not particularly knowledgeable. The majority of the images which they show are, in the main, downloaded from various other sites, eBay etc. As a result, there are bound to be repros. shown. So, its worth bearing in mind that the fact that a particular badge is shown pictured on their site should not be taken as an indication that the badge is genuine. From a personal point of view its not a "club" I've ever found the need to join. That said, I can well understand why some do. It would be interesting to hear of their explanation of why they mislead their "members" by showing pictures of "duff" badges without making clear that they were never worn as such.
