I think if you did that there may be cause for complaints of defamation of character. A seller can always claim ignorance. It's probably safer for the forum just to post links and a warning in the fakes section.

The main thing for new collectors is pictures of thefakes as I have found one in mine and you can actually find pictures of it in 2or three other collections as it was made from the same person of the same mold it helps not to get ripped off this peson is still selling heaps of the same badge a.if we don't post names just pictures is this ok?????
I recently bought a large collection and he had 10 fakes in it and they are even on a militaria website and they ar fake as he estimates he has lost 15+ k its not ok to rip people off. I also seen a 5th wide bay badge in brass for sale on a Australian military site funny as they where never made in brass it was $500 what a rip off not good. what do we do as collectors to help others especially the new collectors from these scum.??????????? Please help
