Default 21st Lancer Arm Badge Copy..again!

Hi

Just thought I'd give the 'heads up' on this...

Yet again from this dealer on Ebay, we have IMO another copy 21st Lancer NCO's Arm Badge item no. 390677792306.
This must be the sixth + this year this guy has listed, and the worrying thing is they sell! and not cheaply either, some have made £70-£80 one made over £100.

So 'Caveat emptor'

Rob

I think you are right. The lugs on the one I have look nothing like the lugs on the one he is selling. His looks (to me at least) as if they have the dodgy "feet". Heaven forbid that he would knowingly be trying to sell a fake, it must be a mistake on his part. As you say, the onus is 100% on the buyer and nothing to do with the seller.
