Default "Unidentified" sign

Sets starting price of £100 and claims to be unable to identify it?

A bit of a deja vu moment with this one as in the other thread he obviously only just bought it.

A misplaced decimal point, perhaps!

And despite that fact that it actually looks better the right way up,he is showing it the same way it was in the auction catalogue.

Wonder when the other auction lot items will appear ?

P.B.

I am really astounded at the lack of knowledge of some people who deal in militaria, this afternoon I came across a Coast Guard framed cloth badge that the dealer was selling as a Grenadier Guards badge and he has a site on Militaria Mart

He seems to have bought that pot-pourri lot for silly money and seems to be trying to recoup part of the 'investment'. The only interesting badge in that batch - and it is indeed the same one; upside down and same mothing.

Is it really for sale? In the description it just asks for help with id. I wonder if the high price is to put off bidders whilst taking advantage of a free listing weekend. Still tempted to send a message to say the other items were a load of s€¥t!

Scroll down his listings and the GLOUCESTER T 4 is exposed, complete with the revealing view of the reverse!

The seller with the York and Lancashire titles seems now to have the rest of the original auction lot for sale.

P.B.
