....I am sure I have seen this listed previously (recently) somewhere else prior to this latest sale.

Edit: Not the same one - but in my opinion, one that is from the same stable of manufacture! (Link here)

Some of the ones in the OP look to be identical to ones in this lot of 'fine' specimens too!

I have zero knowledge of special forces items from anywhere (not my field) but I wouldn't want to add any of these to my collection if i collected SF items.

Pretty sure they're not mate.

£600 is a huge blow for any collector.

This compounds my desire to see something done about auction houses who knowingly sell fake items (Or at least 'Auction houses who are able to cast ambiguity upon a fake item to give the impression that it is real - also affording them plausible deniability when sticky fingers are pointed.)
It is criminal activity.

Shocking mate, £600.
