Default Common VTC Copies / Restrikes
All,

I have just created an album (Volunteer Training Corps VTC - Common Fakes) featuring 15 VTC badges, where I show both the real badge and the common fake versions.

Most of these badges have featured in various threads in the past, and I though it might be helpful to have the comparison in one place.

There are still a few common fakes that are not included, mostly because I don't have an original. I will aim to add to the album as my collection grows!

Best regards, and stay safe,

Tim

Simon,

Rear pictures added to the Album.

As you would expect, blank lower scrolls from the rear.

Best regards,

Tim

Tim,

Yes one of the tell tale signs of an original.

Tim,

Fabulous album, thank you. Love the contrasting backgrounds for genuine v’s fakes.

I am planning to create albums to mirror the MM catalogues in order to demonstrate actual examples the fakes, restrikes and fantasies badges. Would you mind if I linked the relevant VTC repros to your album for a practical demo so to speak?

Great work.

Best wishes,

Luke

If you click on his username and select 'view public profile' you will see all his albums and then click on the one you want to access.

Excellent album with great format and clarity and an indispensable tool to the Members-especially those with somewhat much less knowledge and expertise [such as myself!]
Lots more albums in a similar vein most welcome!
