Default Illogical marketing

I cannot understand why this vendor sells some good, genuine signs alongside a larger quantity of complete dross. It must seem logical to him? Mike

I think the 23 Armoured Brigade badge is a post modernistic re interpretation of the original design of that sign and as such has its own unique value but is not an item I would have as an original example in my collection.

P.B.

A very diplomatic, response, Peter -- I'd offer you a portfolio in my cabinet! The sign is actually a very weird rendition. Mind you, I have an odd-bod 23rd in my own collection that I've never been too thrilled with.
