Hi Paul, best wishes to you for 2010!

You have some nice items.

I do see a few items which are actually reproductions in your display cabinet? I don't know if you are aware of these? Sorry if this comes as bad news

Cheers, Ade.

yes mate i know a few and ibet a few i dont ,consentrate on bayos more now cos i got stung more times than i wished to be .

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Paul, that is a relief. It is never very nice to have to tell someone that they have a bad item or items.

Without going into detail, the ones which strike me as bad are the brass dish with the fake KM pith helmet eagle attatched to it: several of the enamel Party badges, SS sleeve eagle & tag, etc.

Bayonets while faked to a degree, are on the whole, a safer bet.

Cheers, Ade.

Nice collection and display Paul. Heres hoping that none of us get "burned" in the new year. Thanks for posting. John
