With the prices currently being fetched for British Army Metal Shoulder Titles it is perhaps little wonder that an increasing number of 'reproduction' titles are appearing. I despair day by day that the fakers have moved in. Not a new phenomenon, even before Ray Westlakes excellent work appeared in the early 1980's, I can remember being offered (and sad to say obtaining)such unworthy specimens as T/RFA/R.W.KENT and T/RFA/WELCH. In some cases original dies are used, and most of the TYNESIDE/SCOTTISH offerings fall into this category from a rash of restrikes in the 1980's, and more recently the HMRR HUSSARS/DRAGOONS
