Talking Grandads loft
I'm surprised the ceiling timbers have not collapsed, Grandad must have re-enforced it with RSJ's . . !

Awful looking badge, I find it hard to understand how these examples are repeatedly offered as original.

Perhaps just as well they don't all collect badges!

This thing is now at £44!
It's a shame we can't warn people!
I'm really no expert at spotting a fake, that's why I'm part of the forum, but even with my limited experience on such things, I can even see the cap badge is s**te! And I wouldn't touch it!

Not a bad return for a £25 beret and a £4 cap badge, you can see why the scammers do it.

Back in the day you could contact bidders when bidding and after the auction was done.

As much as four pounds for that "badge" I think I would rather buy a pint!
