I have mentioned this before, why do dealers and private sellers leave the backing plates, or card on when they show the back of the badge. I would send it back, it's not a rare S/T, pity we do not know who the dealer is.

The seller is not a regular badge or militaria dealer. I saw the badge and checked his other items for sale, none of which were cap badges, before bidding. He has agreed a full return and the shoulder title has gone back for a full refund.

I started this thread believing that the S/T was a dud but wanted independent confirmation from those more knowledgeable than me, in the hope of avoiding any rancour with the seller. He has been very reasonable all through the return process.

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed.
