Hi Anton,

It's a cheap £10 fake. These are uber rare and here is a pic of a genuine one.

Regards, Ned.

I don't think this one is good. As far as I know they were awarded in 3 classes. 1st with a pale green border, 2nd with the addition of a silver cord outer border and 3rd with a gilt outer border, but always with the pale green inner border which is missing on yours. I have also never heard of them being in Bullion, but maybe I'm wrong.

Here's a 1st class to compare.

'Fraid not Tom, I wish though!!

I answered a question on these a year or two back so researched them quite a bit. The ringers never appear to have the same quality of needlework and originals all have chain stitching on the bird, fakerooney's don't.
