Default Fake Artillery Pagri Badge Numerals & Diamond

Hope this isnt the latest series of fakes to hit the market.

A 14th Medium Battery pagri badge which is a total fake, wrong shape, size and appears glued onto a fake red and blue cloth diamond just to add insult to injury. Even worse is the £85.00 price tag!!

Seller is not one I would trust.

Here is the link, and would appreciate if someone could add the photos and sellers details on here for when the link disappears soon.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/British-A...IAAOSwGSRbOLHG

regards

Sells under a couple of ID's, both with ludicrous prices.

In fact the red/blue diamond, from method of construction and just a tiny peep of backing beneath, looks to be the post WW2 flash of Southern Rhodesia Artillery, a fairly uncommon item in itself.

What a waste, hope he's stuck with it now.
