Interesting. In the past when I’ve told Endici he’s either removed the listing or changed the description and been very polite about it.
A couple of DNW auctions ago he bought a couple lots which did have a few duff badges and because Dixon Pickup was the cataloguer he was slightly reticent to heed my advice on a fake Hood RND with dodgy Gaunt plaque, but he still did put a line in the description saying he’d had an email that it was fake.
Paul will be the first to admit he’s no expert he buys from the big auction houses with good reputations thereby expecting they’ve done their due diligence and won’t be selling fakes... and we all know how that can end.
As always caveat emptor.
