Monmouthshire Trial Strike

[41st]

Do we know if these were actually produced like this for approval or are they fantasy items? The item is white metal, it just appears darker in the photo.

[Alan O]

I am afraid they are faked.

[41st]

Thanks for confirming Alan. I rather thought that was the case. It was a freebie so no loss.

[Luke H]

Alan is correct.

Few of these have popped up again recently. The badge itself is the Marsh fake die and the Lambourne mark is also fake lacking the superscript o of Co.

Sometimes they also appear with a WD broad arrow.

Here is mine acquired amongst an auction job lot in early 2023.

I've had one for years, no name on it though.
