Default PPA in distress!

If it seems too good to be true, it is (undoubtedly) too good to be true. And check out another dozen or more unlikely offerings. Mike

I am sure that this is the same seller who was the subject of a similar thread recently when his offerings included a Wirral Battery sign:

Is the seller linked to/a relation of Mathew the Militaria expert at C and T Auctions?

And still they come:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brfitish-M...IAAOSwSgtZyiEW

Obviously not a member of the Military Heraldry Society otherwise he would have seen the answer in SF 266 April-June 2017.

I am not sure that the sellers son did not have an example in a recent auction but even if not, you would think expertise would be readily available to the seller to identify items like this.
