Default International Militaria - Fake Shoulder Titles

Warning.

I noticed these two gilding metal Territorial Shoulder Titles pop up on ebay today from the infamous faker of badges named above.

No doubt many of the same for different Regiments, so please compare them bafore buying as they will no doubt end up in geberal circulation.

They appear very smooth on the surface and lacking detail in their lettering.

The tell tale error in the Manchester Regiment ones are the strange shaped capital 'C' and the lack of a lower serif on the tail of the capital 'R'.

It is my understanding that everything flogged by this company/seller is fake.

Yes I think so but what will happen is that internet sellers will buy them and sell them on as original

Best wishes
