He found the seller quite pleasant and indeed a careful examination of the description indicated that the badge was a reproduction, which if the buyer had bothered to look would have been evident.

I feared this would be the case with that seller. His silver voided KC Para badges similarly sold like hot cakes. They were of course all cast copies made in silver with modern hallmarks.

As you say it was there all along in the description for every perspective buyer to read.
I wonder how many, in similar haste, seeing what they thought was a rare silver officers badge worth (if original) several hundred pounds listed at ‘only’ £50 BIN in case of the Paras just clicked buy.
