  I've seen these "props" popping up on ebay every now and again and don't know what the score is with them.
  I remember reading on a post long ago that all of these props that appear on the Market are copies as there is only one real set in existance??
  There is a COA from Elstree Props (Nick Harrison) and one from Alex at BBC which doesn't make it easy as they are both Respected Dealers.
  Can anyone shed light on this issue??

  
  Could you post a link to these 'props' - it may help the board to help you.
  
  AJB is lucky in the fact that we have many experienced model and prop makers here - I'm certain someone will be able to help.
