Is ebay seller fruitcop2 on the same planet as me, he charges $229 for completely spurious badges, does he seriously think an RNAS officer ever wore the dross he sells?

The sellers description certainly makes for interesting reading, not only is a claim made that it was bought over fifty years ago, but, it has been authenticated on the GMIC.

Indeed, but, if you read his description, not only is he a wretched liar, but, he also attempts to bring the GMIC into disrepute too, but, the asking price of in excess of £170, is unbelievable and downright theft.

Now ended by the seller because of an "error" in listing, I suppose we must be grateful for that.
