Default Victorian Liverpool police Helmet badge
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385723286...mis&media=COPY

Currently for auction on eBay. A Victorian? (Sellers question mark)
Police helmet badge Rare. And so it would be with a Queen Elizabeth's crown!
Since the seller has a question mark on the description, I let them know it wasn't Victorian.
Seller reply "It's Victorian, but thanks anyway.

I pointed the seller in the direction of the Liverpool police insignia site.
The rare Victorian badge is still up for grabs!

I've also asked him why he thinks it a "RARE" item. Total Dickhead!

So the seller responded by saying:-

“Wow, how smug do you sound”

His poor attitude seems to explain most of his negative and neutral feedback comments.

It gets better. This uneducated plonker sent me a message after he had revised his listing, after I had directed him to the Liverpool police insignia site, and asked ME for an apology!!!!!!!! Take a look at my messages below.

Possibly rare as it seems to have had the lugs clipped off, one off customisation! Never understand why people are so cheesed off with people offering some constructive advice

It could be because they live in their own microscopic world
