Badges marked ENGLAND, MADE IN ENGLAND, MADE IN BRITAIN etc seen on ebay
With reference to a couple of other threads, these are some photos lifted from ebay from several multiple lots listed about a year ago. Many of the badges were marked 'ENGLAND' 'MADE IN ENGLAND' 'MADE IN BRITAIN or variations and also had similar looking fire or water damage making me wonder if they all came from the same source. I bought one of the lots. Anyhow, I thought it might be interesting to post them here but I've been up to me eyeballs, so better late than never. The seller is id racme_5389 - I offer no adverse judgement of him - he still seems to be active on ebay but doesn't seem to be a dealer in badges. Fairly sure he just picked up the badges as a lot somewhere and set about selling them 'without knowledge'. I don't remember them being offered as genuine. It may be interesting to contact him and see if he remembers where he got them from. Anyway, I shall put up the lots separately to help reference if it sparks any debate. It may not! There will be 12 posts so let me post them before replying. Mike
I will post the first lot here as it's the one I bought and want to make a comment. The 4 lugged collars are all legit, but I bought the lot for the 4 slidered badges, all of which have all the hallmarks of the small badge associated with the RASC Fleet, most especially the large die fault. I sold 2 of them on the forum and kept one unmarked and the 'MADE IN ENGLAND' badge. I believe these are also legit badges but not purchased or commissioned through the MoD - but more on that later. |
