I have contacted this eBay seller regarding the fake PPA title he has for sale.

This is what I wrote:

"Hello,

I have contacted you previously about this PPA title.

Without doubt it is a modern, Pakistan made, fake.

The title has been shown and discussed on the British and Commonwealth Badge forum and, hopefully, prospective buyers are aware of it.

However you have ignored the information are continue to re-list the title, are you trying to commit a fraudulent deception or are you naive to what you are doing?

I can offer you £10.00 to take the fake out of circulation, and keep as a comparison so other collectors do not make the error of wasting a lot of money on this fake.

It is fakes, and people selling them as original that has become a blight upon collecting. Too many young collectors have been caught out and consequently given up on the hobby.

Please do the right thing...

Regards"

I will keep the forum updated with any reply, Keith

Dont hold your breath

He sells multiple fake badges and real badges are triple their worth.

Just one ID of a Weymouth based dealer.

£10 is rather too much!

If you pay him £10 for it all he will do is list another one in a few weeks, this bloke sells complete and utter dross and is someone I have noted to stay well clear from.
