Default Beware!

Another ebay seller has appeared, possibly be another well known driver under a different user name..... (same badges, same postal rate, similar listings, hidden bidders identity). I'm not naming directly but to help out here's a couple of clues.

1. These people usually wear pointed hats with stars on them....Merlin was one.

......followed by four numbers

2. The first date usually found on the South Africa battle honour.

All the usual crap being sold, Victorian 21st Lancers, etc.

Must point out thought these items are NOT being listed as genuine.

Default Beware

Thanks Keith,
Has anybody else noticed the rash of Home Guard unit designations that also seem to have appeared recently on E bay ?
Any thoughts appreciated

P.B.

Funny really,

My mate from Merthyr assures me South Wales is an absolute desert for finding cap badges yet the amount of (never ending father's) collections which turn up are astounding.

This dealer's guest book is most interesting.

Default what site is the guestbook for?

The guest book is mostly spam. Why no removal of this I don't know. I clicked on the 'Badges' link to have a look-see, however I got a link to the free guest book program.

I have very few dealer sites that I visit (good or bad). I am always looking for new ones.

If you have the sites URL, could you please post it? Thanks.
