LRDG Fakes at Lockdales

[popskipa]

Potential buyers beware Lockdales at Martlesham Suffolk are selling a collection of LRDG items. I have examined each lot, they are fakes and designed to deceive.

Sale 17th & 18th September

Lot 235
Badges LRDG a pair of Lieut shoulder straps with LRDG brass sand locally produced on campaign cast titles affixed. Estimate: 140 - 150 GBP

Lot 236
Badges LRDG a sand cast brass cap badge made on campaign, GVF Estimate: 140 - 150 GBP

Lot 237
Badges LRDG an Egyptian Hallmarked Officers silver cap badge in an Egyptian Cairo Jewellers case, reverse numbered. Estimate: 470 - 480 GBP

I have contacted the auctioneers about the fakes but my messages have been ignored. I fear the auctioneers are more concerned about their profit margin than the implications of being known as a clearing house for fakes...
