Look out for these currently for sale from the USA.

There must be more out there?

A lot of suspicious looking British items seem to be on sale from America recently.

Default Fashion belt badges

Basically four different badges repeated three times, this is worse than British TV, obviously made to follow fashion and never to fool collectors I hope . . !

These are certainly not suspicious in any way, but blatant phony badges made up for, well, whatever.
I would certainly hope that anyone even vaguely familiar with British badges could recognize these for what they are.
A shame they are listed in the militaria category. If they were in women's fashions I could understand.

How long before you see the individual badges turning up for sale, listed as ‘removed from hate belt’?
