He is a nice, respected man and he runs a good website.
Why not contact him and let him know it is a fake?

Fair enough, I'll let him know as soon as I can find his email adress which seems well hidden.
It wasn't my intention to slag him off, just to point out the pervasiveness of fake badges, and the use of them due to lack of knowledge when outside the specific interest of some otherwise fairly knowledgeable collectors.

Edit, found an email adress and message has been sent.
