These badges, especially the shoulder titles are often seen on ebay. The seller has two different accounts but Blackpool (4-0) is the common location to both.

What I find both amusing and incredibly frustrating at the same time is that if you meet any of these people selling their goods at any of the Fairs they try and give the impression that they are both very knowledgable and personally have an interest in militaria ( and millitary history ) and yet at the same time they are the people who are doing ( and have done ) incredible damage to our hobby.

P.B.

I believe the owner of the website and the seller of the item on the thread here

http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ad.php?t=12031

are one and the same.

John.
