Default Carnarvon shire VTC, good or bad ?

The makers name on the slider gives me some hope but I would be grateful for opinions please.

Thanks

P.

You’ll be pleased to know it is not the Martin Marsh fake.

Whilst VTCs are not my thing, to my eyes it looks good.

Peter,

No doubt about it at all, in my eyes. Maker mark, lack of voids in the crown, and the die flaw over the 'T' all make it genuine.

Quite unusual curved slider, but I also have one with this feature>

A lovely badge!

Best regards,

Tim

Thanks Kevin,

Seem to be on a roll with Welsh items at the moment, not in my collecting area, will probably be offering this badge here on the Forum in the near future.

Regards

Peter
