Not again
Crap copy in my opinion, seller knows better. Like the one just sold below: a No 5 numeral - NOT. He even has the cheek to quote Glydes book to identify it, can't see Glyde stating the numerals were sew on. All ww1 numerals on colour patches that I own or have seen had lugs, the seller (who is an experienced collector and knows better) is unbelievably dishonest - passing off crap as genuine.
Three items from the same seller in as many days that are wrongly or dishonestly described. 1) Dud enamelled badge 2) Wrongly attributed numeral 3) Dud light horse badge Caveat Emptor Sorry if I'm ruffling feathers, but this kind of thing really SH*%TS me... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/WW1-AUST...0AAOSwPMJc-hXF Last edited by vigilans; 15-06-19 at 01:14 AM. |

Never apologise for telling the truth. The world needs more of it.

More from our mate Shed_Finds, again described as original. There at at least 5 dud Australian badges amongst his latest lot. What can you do?

A similar example is listed as a German WW1 regimental button, I thought it may have been a German epaulette numeral. Personally never seen a sewn on Australian example.

More likely, it's denotes the age of the person that made it.
