Sorry, I thought I remember a debate on them with yourself and some other members. Probably read it wrong.

Simon.

Hi guys,

Eddie, I'm glad you got outbid in this case mate

Luvjoystimber and luvjoysantiques are the same dealer (I believe), sells fakes. i got two caps and two shoulder titles, looked good in the photos but arrived and yes they were to quote Andy ''big fat ones'' obvious to even a novice when in the hand, no doubt at all.

The only two really, obviously, good ones of this badge I have ever seen had sliders.

Regards

Phil
