No I am not the owner - Glenn is the owner and I run his website and assist with his IT requirements.

I'm certainly happy with people posting about fake badges but care should be taken about posting links to badges on people's website without factual evidence.

A person makes a living from running that site and posts which could result in a negative impact to their reputation can easily result in defamatory litigation against the poster. I'm sure the mods will agree with me here on this - be careful what you post without facts to back you up - it's a very litigious society we all live in these days (sadly).

But knowing Glenn, if it turns out to be a reproduction or fantasy badge, he will either change the description or remove it from the site. As to what info he has about it's origin, I don't know. I can ask him and see what he says. I suspect he probably just picked it up from a purchased collection.

And yes, I welcome a reference book on RAAF insignia - certainly is well overdue.

In this instance, I am keen to see what evidence Ted is able to produce to backup his claims.
