Nearly every week, we have the same reproduction armbands available from Soldier of Fortune for a tenner appearing on the tat bazaar that is eBay. The armbands, sold by a notorious eBay shyster, have various crappy stamps inside, the latest being "L.C.C 1939" (note the missing full stop at the end there). Punters are regularly wasting their money on these. Wake up, people...  Fake L.C.C air raid warden armband

Appearing on eBay is a fake embroidered CDR beret badge. The rear spagetti of threads is the giveawy  Fake Embroidered Civil Defence Reserve CDR Beret Badge Some reproduction (fake) shoulder title insignia for the Kent County CD Mobile Reserve appeared on eBay recently (the shoulder titles plus a fake beret badge for Region XII sold for £53 plus shipping). There are marked differences in the construction, the primary being the rear of the badges and the spaghetti of thread. The colour of the thread also appears the wrong shade (though images online can have different hues). The raised and thicker letters on the fakes are thought to occur from embroidering over paper letter templates.
The badge below for a Civil Defence Reserve (CDR) Region XII member's beret is a fake / reproduction. Several badges have appeared online for the CDR (e.g. Kent County CD Mobile Reserve shoulder titles) and white-lettered and embroidered Fire Guard insignia.
