HKP Fake. Thoughts?
This one appears to have been rather craftily fashioned to incorporate a slider stamped with a UK manufacturer's mark.

I found this yesterday, it doesn't look right to me.

I've seen versions of this badge with sliders and a version with lugs.
Are both authentic? Or was one worn by commissioned HKP officers and the other by constables? Trying to find out more about this badge as my Grand father served in the HKP during WW2. Mick

I have a fairly large collection of police items from Hong Kong. The KC named HKP cap badge was produced in three slightly differing designs. The first issue was lugged and the two following versions were slidered. However, I have seen a locally hand made solid silver HKP cap badge which was commissioned by a senior officer and actually worn by him. That had on it a slider and was slightly smaller than the issued cap badge. Unfortunately, I can't comment on whether my examples are maker marked as they are in a frame. As to the badge which is the subject of this thread, I don't like the look of it for a variety of reasons. I hope this is helpful. Dave. |
