I saw this earlier, the seller uses a number of ebay user names, all of whom list questionable items, such as the SAS uniform group you shared the other day.

He has in the past threatened me with legal action, but it is all bluster as in court his "enhancing" of items or miss describing of them could be taken apart by any half knowledgeable collector, or 11 year old.

Its our old friend 'jobrown1001' again ...

I recall a singer and entertained called Joe Brown
Hits included:
Good Luck and Goodye
What a crazy world we're livin' in
Teardrops in the rain
Sea of Heartache
One Trick Pony

I guess that says it all !

1001 used to "clean a big big carpet for less than half a crown" ... don't get taken to the cleaners

Caveat Emptor

I love the description for the LRDG badge.

BADGE IS AN ORIGINAL BRONZE ISSUE NAMED ON REVERSE SIDE , FAINT BUT VISIBLE "SIV .... " MAYBE SAID SILVESTER OR SILVERMAN !!!!!!!

Could this be SILVER!

Had it been a genuine LRDG Badge, I assume it would have be marked "Merde"? Mike

There have been quite a number of recent threads on here and other forums outing these shysters but still people but this dross.

Hard to believe that buyers don't search for these clowns and their wares
