falklands mine sign

[kiwieod]

does anyone know how to tell the real minesigns used on the falklands from the tourist ones that you can buy,they seem exactly the same.
I would like to get a genuine one if possible.

I don't know what they do now, but when I was there 20+ years ago, people could request mine signs from the EOD detachment in Port Stanley. They were the same thing as used on the minefields, but were given out free, with a certificate to prove that they hadn't been removed from the minefield fences. This was the easiest way to prevent people damaging the fences for souvenirs.

I have a "mine map"as issued to troops showing areas still mined,it was brought back by a Falklands soldier just after the end of the Falklands war,
