Dies for sale.
This was mentioned previously, but the vendor is flogging more "old dies".

These are fake dies for fake badges as the Kings (Liverpools and Machesters)was first made circa 1970 in a/a.

Fake dies
Even though these are fake dies I bet some rat will buy them and then sell them on as originals, and some unsuspecting beginner will buy them, is there nothing anyone can do to stop this guy from not saying exactly what it is he is selling.this sort of thing really makes me sick.

I don't think they are all fake dies. I also think that the badge picture in the link is a stock type photo not the one made by the die.

The King's badge shown is the last pattern introduced in 2001. Larger than the anodised version with the KING'S scroll in English script, it was made in new/improved metals.
Not therefore a fake badge! Tim

What I dont understand is why anyone would fork out £85 (inc. delivery) when he cant even be bothered to provide photographs of what you are buying?
How do you know what it is you actually get? Your lot might only have 2 pieces in it and one of them could be a meaningless lump of brass. Not for me. regards

The improved metal badge was not die struck but fakes have been produced probably with these dies.
