Hi All,

Cheers, Mark

Default plate

Thanks for that Mark, Now I know it's supposed to be shoulder belt plate, have found it in Parkyns book number 430 but I presume should be in white metal as is the one you pointed out ?

Cheers,

Mark

Mark, I'm glad you mentioned that you purchased it as a restrike, but look at the length the fraudster has gone to in removing the black paint from the relief to give the impression of worn age. The trouble with these modern fakes is that in 25, 50, 75 years these will have genuine age and be fooling a whole new generation of collectors!
