Old 48th TFW?

Saw these on Ebay and I'm half tempted.... :unsure: Are they fakes? You can usually tell by looking at the weave on backs, which seem to look genuine enough (despite the comic expression and big nose on her face)?

It would be a waste of money him abqmetal and a few others are making coasters. If it’s old and cheap especially BIN be careful

Haha :lol: :lol:

See what you mean - especially with the first patch. Not very flattering for the statue!
