Default Hood Battalion good or bad
Hi All
Is this badge genuine? It has a Gaunt plate and the badge isn't too bad but I am not 100% convinced it is genuine.
Thanks, cheers,
Alex

You are right to be cynical. It is a fake with a fake gaunt plaque.

Hi Luke
Thanks very much. No big surprise and it cost very little so no great loss. Had to take the chance though...
Cheers,
Alex

I always think with cheap calculated gambles overall they’re worth it as the big wins far outweigh the pitfalls when not much is laid out.

Hopefully a bargain appears soon to make up for this one which is still worth keeping as a useful reference on repro Hoods and especially fake Gaunt plates.

There seem to be a number of these in circulation at the moment, the third I have noticed in as many days.
