An interesting conversation you had with Nobby especially these parts.

1. "bosleys have checked it and would be happy to sell so thats good enough for me."
2. "Ask yourself why would someone go to the effort of producing dies, silver gilding and gold gilt, to sell half a dozen badges no-one not even the indians or chinese would go that effort." I won't go into detail but my experience tells me that this isn't necessarily true.
3. "i use to make make die set for Gaunt and Toye, for badges that were ultimately never approved we used to have loads in the plating shop ." Curious as to why they would make loads of badges before they were approved?
4. The military history of the seller is irrelevant when it comes to collecting.
5. "as selling badges isnt hiusmain source of income hasnt updated the site for a number of years." That's not right. The website was "Last updated - October 7th, 2021 00:31:30 AM BST." That's three days before Nobby made that comment.
