Thank you Eric for your time, so what RNP/Vichy items are being reproduced?
Thanks, Glen.

[Eric Zentner]

Thanks Chris wish I could find a deal on a Etat Francais War cross olny around 100 made and bring big bucks.

Glen I have seen several styles some repro and some total fantasy items it is not near as bad as TR items far as fakes go. I am still learning myself and am in no way an authority on these items I learn more everyday and info on these items are very limited out there.

I'd say nearly 90% of the Vichy pins on eBay are repros. Very tricky collectables.
