From my experience it's not so much "appear", but are 100% fakes.

The TF badges were blank scrolled and did not have the Boer war scroll.

The VB badges were nothing like this either.

This seller seems to have a never ending supply of supposedly scarce badges. They seem to have taken up the mantle discarded by that infamous hackney carriage operator west of me.

I have been bitten by these people in the past and as such stay well clear! like Simon says 100% fakes labelled as good and rare badges why they just dont say so and price accordingly sort off annoys me! I did return item/s but how many get kept?
