How much?

Found this item on Ebay, it must be so rare I can't find any reference to it in my reference books. So how much should I bid on it. Cheers Sean.

Sean,

It is indeed rare... it is the only one in existence, that is until the seller knocks up another one in his butcher's shop.

5p. Total fantasy.

Not even 5p, couple of peanuts for the monkey that grinds them out should suffice !! :D

I think the more worrying element of this badge is that he has for some reason used what should be a rather expensive Territorial title when manufacturing this badge.
If the title is also fake,then there are bigger issues here than just someone who is letting his imagination go haywire when he thinks up the next fantasy badge.

He already has, this seller has been the subject of at least one previous thread.

P.B.

I notice he uses several different titles for those he has listed on e-bay at the moment. Is it just the way the photo has been taken but are they actually brass or some other metal?
Peter:confused:

Has also been discussed several times on the forum "Wermarcht Awards" usually with reference to faked items.

Including details on a court case.

John,

The link to the Court case post and the other posts on that Forum on this man provides some very interesting reading,almost makes you wonder how he can contine trading with the reputation he has , or indeed how Fairs Organisers contine to allow him to stand at their Fairs.

Peter
