The Exeter VTC is a fake I am afraid. The SAS belt plate is not good either judging by the back. It looks to have come from a very worn die.

Return them if sold as original and insist on a refund.

All duds.

There is no record of a QC PBP being worn by the Artists, it does however feature in the Marsh catalogue so potentially a fantasy item.

The Exeter VTC is the common fake. The Young Citizens Volunteers is an older fake.

Thanks Luke,

I am glad that I didn't take a punt and sought advice.
