In July I spotted a fake 2008 Poppy pin , the seller was donating 10% of money to "Help For Heroes" . I politely informed the seller that it was a fake so that they/the charity would not get into trouble and got the following reply:

I note that the seller states that he/she has lapel badges made to their own design ("all my badges are made to my strict specifications and i am happy to except returns should you be unhappy in any way").

They also sell the same design of badge but with "2007", obtained via a liquidation sale.
"picked a few of these up from a liquidation sale from a shop. from the little bit of research i have done, i believe these to be very rare. i have found 3 of these for sale on ebay and one other site with a price of £89.00 AND £119.00/" Pukkah or duff badges? |

Edit : Posted then saw Leigh's second post , the 2007 is definitely a fake as it is the wrong size and finish. .

But it's all OK, because some money is stated to go to charidee.

If someone commissions copies of RBL badges I take it that there are copyright issues?
Seen the 4 somewhat similar poppy based veterans badge designs made to the sellers strict specification? Last edited by leigh kitchen; 05-09-21 at 10:16 AM. Reason: Added the bit about the veterans badges. |

The seller will claim that they bought them at liquidation sale/auction and believed they were genuine items ....and yet in a message they said : Quote:
Edit : I was asked for exact size and back details of genuine 2008 poppy pin but did not supply them. .

No prob then - clearly a pukkah stand up chap / chappess.
I must emphasise that I am in no way intimating that the seller is commissioning fake RBL badges in order to sell them at original. |
