MARPLES & BEASLEY / BIRMINGHAM Sliders

[leigh kitchen]

Batch of 26 of them currently priced at £10 on ebay.
I don't know whether good or bad.

Fill your boots here.... I wonder if they are factory surplus..... they could cause a few headaches.....

Fakes. I have yet to see a 'genuine' M&B other ranks badge that is not a fake.

Have you noticed looking at the sliders and the way the end is bent over to fix onto the badge that there are quite a few that look blanc unless stamped on the rear of the slider ?

Well some potential cheater has got hold of them, I tried to get them to take them out of circulation but called a halt to bidding at 22.00. And lets not have the politically correct brigade going on about "you don't know that" etc etc....
Undoubtedly, they will turn up soon on "genuine" badges...

Very desirable too.
