Would not contact him ,or you will be band from his site I contacted him sometime back and informed him the white metal badge with the star of David was not a Jewish brigade badge and explained why -very polite emails I told him what it was When asked why was I band said I ,called him a moron emails disprove this Not only will not take advise makes appears to make stories up

The items he is selling are.what used to belong to Navy Fred.

Home Guard 06-10-22 06:15 PM

I am not sure I understand the issue. Is he selling fakes, or is it something else?

Thanks,

Terry

Thank you Gentlemen, I was thinking that was it, not being anodized,, but wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything. He does have one I might be interested in.

Terry they have acquired a large collection, some selling for good money, starting off at a low price, so bargains to be had, price ramping as a few people try to acquire these items, most are fine though a few copies, they must have made the money spent in acquiring this collection back in Spades!

There have been some Very Nice badges!

Just had my daily nose on e..y,and have i missed something somewhere,time warped,mass inflation ?
Our seller has for sale an RGJ Officers badge . Well,no it isnt,its the all ranks plated version .Not HM silver,pretty crapply plated tbh. Usual price around £5 ,maybe get it in the bag for that. 2 people are in a bidding war for it, latest bid £102 !!!!!

I didnt see the final price Billy. But you could have got 2 HM examples for that sort of money.

billy 08-10-22 04:07 PM

Hi Mike just looked at the site and the badge is selling at the original price of £5, was this “Elephant at 6p” ?

Mike H 09-10-22 06:30 AM
