Default Home Guard badges
I see there are some Home Guard badges that include "PC/1 and PC/2" from the Dad's Army series, although not genuine Home Guard issue no doubt they will sell well due to the popularity of this classic comedy.

Lot 199 appears to have a Marsh Monster (aka golf ball fleece) among its flock... the pre-1924 pattern cap badge. No images of the backs, btw:

Sláinte Mhath!

The buyer will be in need of a big dram when they realise it’s very fake.

The C&T one is quite a common copy which is often on ebay - photo genuine one attached with very different lion. I thought the Cairo silver LRDG was quite convincing? The GMGBn badge @£1950 plus commission must be a world record? Denis

It's certainly selling some items with the wrong description.
