"Have had some wide and varied opinions on this from a number of dealers & collectors"
:rolleyes::D:eek::):o:rolleyes:;):confused::):cool :

Is that a "silver" hallmark as well on the badge? LOL

I know who he is.
I don't think he's too popular with Burridges because of his business name.

From their website

IMPORTANT NOTICE ;
WE REGRET THE NECESSITY TO INFORM OUR MANY CUSTOMERS THAT WE ARE IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH JBMILITARIA OR JB MILITARY ANTIQUES ALSO OF PERTH. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT HAVING TRADED IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA FOR OVER 40 YEARS WE NOW FIND THE NEED TO POST THIS ADVICE.
Then again wasn't it Charles Caleb Colton who said
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

Have a google about JB Militaria and you will find some interesting reading. Lol

I just hope the auction winner isn’t a forum member.

Someone just paid $354.99 for a bad fake and probably will have a hard time returning it.

The seller has this in his listing.

"Have had some wide and varied opinions on this from a number of dealers & collectors, so selling this as is, with no warranty associated/returns."

And he is well known for his temper tantrums and unprofessional behavior when it comes to people returning fake items to him.

Caveat Emptor.

And you wonder why there is no new blood coming into this hobby when they get ripped by a so called knowledgeable dealer :mad: And yes I have a couple of run in's with this AH a couple of times very nasty person.

Translation = ‘‘I was told this is fake. Didn’t like what I heard so will carrying on and sell it regardless. And no returns please if you find out the truth.’’

Some of the things he has done to other customers is beyond belief! Lots of threads on Facebook about him so I want mention it here.

ps

He blocked me from his FB page as I asked him if he was John Burridge :D

I spoke to him on the phone years ago because we had had a disagreement. He threatened me and I told him if we met he should make sure he some friends around because he'd need them. A complete wanker!

Yes. Unfortunately he's not the only one.

So do you live over in WA if so you must know Dennis W ? Collects uniforms and head gear ?

Rob

No.

Ok
