Hi, and welcome to the forum!

I would pass on all of it. Most of the flags are fakes from the 1970's.

Cheers, Ade.

Thx , there's a fair coming up this weekend anyway in my area! Are any of the flags real or all fake?

**Adrian Stevenson** · 10-07-2010, 07:22 AM

All bad sorry. The only one worth a second look is the State Service flag, third down on the left.

Agree with Ade other than one possible exception. Personally when I see the combination of these old fake flags, desk ornaments/ashtrays, rubber stamps and just for good luck, that particular wall eagle (or whatever it is) I tend to dismiss the cache as bogus. There is however and in a cellophane packet what I think is an SA standard bearers gorget. Massively faked of course, although close up and out of bag images are need to assess this. The bed fellows to the gorget probably say enough, however a possible exception.

Regards,

David

Having had some experience with these fake flags,
I agree with both Ade and David and their comments..............!

upon further research and talking to my collecting friends i have come to the learn that this is a notorious faker in our city and is quite well known in our city. So i'll make sure to be more careful now when buying.
