Fake WW2 London Housewives Service ARP Enamel Badge

Yet another example of the fake ARP enamel badges been sold on eBay (more examples here). This time for the London Housewives Service. Usually these badges are dipped in an acid solution to age them but this one has been left as made. The rear is the giveaway that this is part of the current spate of fake ARP badges being made. It has the exact same pin and also the stippling. The font to the front is also a modern style. The ARP is copied across several badges as well.

​This particular badge is based off a similar badge for the Bushbury Housewives Service. A comparison of the badges clearly shows the difference between the fakes and original.
