Default Hong Kong Police

Although not strictly military I wonder if anyone can help. I have had the chrome HK Police for some time and I believe it to be genuine. It has a Firmin London named slider. I bought the brass one recently and the vendor said he had a tine full . Yes - a bit ominous. It has a Firmin & Sons slider. Do the Forum members thing it is genuine? If they do maybe I'll go back and buy a few more.

The brass version is simply a badge which has escaped the chroming process. Effectively worthless.

Dave.

Dave, Thank you. I'll keep it because it is genuine (of sorts) but won't be buying any to put on Ebay. Best regards, Mike
