Bobby Tredwen and C&T Auctions which means plenty of fakes. Prospective buyers beware.

I thought C & T were going to be the saviours of military badge auctions not so long ago?

Despite the family connection I have always found C & T and particularly Matthew very good and easy to deal with and I think their auctions are excellent and provide another much welcomed military auction facility.

I respect you comments, but doubt you have looked closely at their special forces badges. On one occasion I emailed C&T to let them know the LRDG badges were fakes, the reply was abusive and suggested I mind my own business! Nowadays I will not buy from them on principle - no matter what.

You can pick your friends but unfortunately you are lumbered with your relatives.
