Default Fake 24th Lancers Bullion

http://www.sellmymilitaria.com/site/...dge&Itemid=477

Opinions on this please I feel it might not be pre 1952 manufacture? Just my opinion but would like the thoughts of the professionals on here?

Hi Hanbut,
I'm sorry you feel it is overpriced! Can you also tell me why you have posted this in the Restrike, Fakes, Forgeries and Copies Section?

I would also like to point out that in the spirit of the site (SMM - see extract below), you should raise any issues directly with the seller/advertiser. This badge is mine and you have not had the Good Manners to contact me, if you have concerns over it's authenticity!

Self-Moderation.

If you feel a seller has incorrectly described an item, or the item is possibly a reproduction, then please contact them direct, be polite and if you are unable to agree with each other then please contact us. It is not worth getting into a confrontation and this often fails to get any positive result.


You have also used images which belong to me without my consent! An explanation would be appreciated please!

Best Regards

Andy

Default Fake / Copy 24th Lancers

This is definately a copy, I am sure if you remove the material from the reverse you will see the cotton holding the silver wire will be white and will glow under uv light. I agree that the way is not to publicly flog a seller but it does seem to be the way this forum works when someone is selling copies, even when they sell them clearly marked as a copy. (But maybe these are just a few forum users that like to use this for a more personal attack) I am sorry if you took this personally but do stand by my opinion on this badge

Again I really do not like the badge on the right. The left badge is 100%

True enough isn't it?

You should have got in touch with Andy first, with reference to your opinion about this badge. I respect your opinion, but the way you have dealt with this matter is not very professional. My opinion only. Andy is a very long serving member on this forum and will, and has help many members. He has removed the badge in a professional manner.
Andy

7 years is a long time to make this statement Andrew. I would have thought you would have done it quicker.

What on earth was the point of a statement like this, or indeed, the point of your original post that started this thread in the first place?
You suggest Andy's badge is a copy, I'm finding it hard to understand why you suggested that originally, then you appear to claim that it was you who actually made the badge and then you clearly state that you did not, moreover, you then go on further to state that Andy's badge is in fact original.
