Guest KevinEndon Posted 17 March , 2008 Share Posted 17 March , 2008 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WW1-Death-Plaque-Joh...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WW1-DEATH-PLAQUE-TO-...1QQcmdZViewItem strange to see 2 plaques for sale at the same time to the same name. Are these genuine and just a huge coincidence or are they fakes Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshdoc Posted 17 March , 2008 Share Posted 17 March , 2008 Nothing wrong with these simply a common name and a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intrados Posted 17 March , 2008 Share Posted 17 March , 2008 A major coincidence, following the posts about the fake plaques and badges around at this time ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviltaxman Posted 17 March , 2008 Share Posted 17 March , 2008 SDGW has 138 "John Robertson" and ODGW lists only 1. Add in a few more for Navy etc.......... Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshdoc Posted 17 March , 2008 Share Posted 17 March , 2008 Apart from anything else the patina of these plaques are completely different, also they are not "embedded in marble" nor are they named Ernest edward Smith. There are dozens of John Robertsons on CWGC infact 136 on soldiers died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T8HANTS Posted 17 March , 2008 Share Posted 17 March , 2008 I think I am the proud owner of one example of the most common plaque name, its to George Smith.......Unless you know different of course. Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
