Re: WELSH PIT CHECKS

Recently I purchased three Welsh pit checks on behalf of an elderly neighbour whose hobby is collecting these. He had been tipped off about some checks on Ebay and he doesn't have a computer so asked me if I would help.
We bought the three from a seller called Snipepit and the address was Manchester.
Since then I have received an email telling me that Snipepit is a conman and that the checks are fakes.
Can you advise me if this might be correct and how would someone know if they are fakes? This is my first sight of pit checks so I have absolutely no idea about them. What should I do?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

Sincerely
Eileen
