Military Police TC and VP badges - advice needed
Hi All,
I've been to a fair a few times where a seller has a Military Police VP badge for sale, I'm quite tempted but I don't know anything about cloth badges. Are there any warning signs or tell tales marks I should be looking for to identify the real thing from a modern repro? I've asked the price and he seems to fluctuate between £35 and £50 for it, is that a fair price or is it a case of it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it? Thanks a lot, Michael |

Michael,
I have these badges and as far as I can recall have never seen a copy of them. The prices you quote seem about right. regards

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, it's reassuring to hear that but I know there are modern ones out there as I have some as fillers in my display, I bought them here: http://www.montyslocker.co.uk/oursho...ty-Points.html It does suggest though that the seller has the real thing and these ones from montys locker come with stickers on saying copy (but I suppose that's easily taken off). Is there anything I should look for in general with WW2 cloth badges? Thanks again, Michael |
