I don't know about his one in all honesty, I'd like to check it out a few more things firstly

Any more thoughts Marcus, anyone Im not at home at the moment so any info would be sketchy from my side until i get home.
I do remember where and roughly when i got it.

I'm keen to learn about this stuff as only found this forum earlier this year, i have been collecting for about 18 years but i did take a break for about 5 yeas. and i dont want to make silly mistakes again, second time round.

if it would be of any use i could forward this to you Marcus, but i wont be home until mid august

Hi mate,


I can't find any letterng to match it fake wise, nor is it a known fake to me.

Dodgy these ones always as there's no real pattern to them ever. I'm always wary of these until I've have a good look at some files and a think (there are some though you can tel a mile off as they're more often encountered), but if you like I could have a look at it......in your own time, no rush and I'll scan it to for the book too

They do fake a waxy packet for long service medals believe it or not and they mostly all look very orange in colour as if they've tried to age them and failed; they look like a Quality Street wrappers to me ! Also, in the same guise they do Shield fake packets as well.

Hi Marcus,

I'll PM you nearer the time i go home to get your address, I would ask the wife to find it out and send, but she thinks its weird that i collect this stuff anyway.
And would probably send her into early menopause, and being the only male in a house of five thats not what i want to come home to.

This packet reminds me of a 'questionable' spange packet that was circulating awhile back.
