Anyone else think that this is wrong? Look how far the screw holes are in towards the centre of the sign, how thin and white the enamel is, how thin the enamel looks around the screw holes and a black back with rows of dots on? The badge and writing looks off too?

Yep I totally agree, it’s a copy. All the indications are there, the screw holes to far in. The back is to way to clean and shinny, no messy over spill of enamel. The uniform firing marks are also a good give away that it’s a copy.

Does this Colman's one look a bit dodgy too on ebay? Colours look wrong and there should be a code on the botom right.

ITS WRONG!!
 
Steer well clear; it’s a 1970s/80s copy.
