Default bronze Maori Pioneers for discussion
Hi Gents,
Reading the forum pages on this bronze Maori Pioneers badge "that they had been heavily faked", I suspect this may well be a wrong 'un!
Would appreciate a member to confirm for me before it goes in file 13.
Many Thanks in advance.

I would regard it as a fake.
"Necklace" part should be voided.
Cheers, John

Yes it is fake. The necklace on the bronze die cast examples made by either Firmin or Gaunt will be non-voided (unlike the brass ones)

I started with a fake, which inspired me to study & learn good from bad and this a bad one
