In 1996 that same 'copy' was found to be genuine as its metal content matched to all of the other contemporary VCs.
That's a neat story. Who owns it now?

After the discovery of its real worth, the Chard Victoria Cross was purchased by Michael Anthony Ashcroft, Baron Ashcroft, who already had the world's largest collection of VC medals. It is unclear if he has given or loaned the collection, but it is currently on display at the Imperial War Museum in London.

Thanks! It would be fascinating to see them ... to learn the stories, not that the medals themselves are anything spectacular.
