Is this example any good? It is not the N Wales collectibles version. The seller does say it is PROBABLY a copy.

Jerry,
It is good, as a £3 gap filler, otherwise completely reproduction!

Many thanks Andy. A learning curve for me on these so glad to have you there to steer me in the right direction, away from it in this case.

Note the fat dumpy feathers: these are found on many ebay fakes.

Thanks Alan, much appreciated.

Jerry,
I did do a bit of a "Fake Spotting Guide" for POW Plume based badges, but I cannot seem to find the thread? As Alan says the "Fat Dumpy" feathers are not a good sign and also the smooth Christmas cracker "Party Hat"! I've used you image to indicate, hope you don't mind?
