I wouldn't buy it. The seller is known to sell bogus material which he makes himself and the fact he has multiple for sale would be a huge red flag.

He has had a lot or RFW examples over recent months and as much as I would like originals, these are not!

I do not buy badges from this person as I believe he knowingly and willingly sells fakes as original badges. In fact I am banned by him for reporting him for making copies of hallmarked badges.

I advise you to avoid the item and warn all of your friends off of him also.

His site is a good in terms of watching what badges are being faked and so can be a good educational source.

John

Report the seller to ebay. They may act if they get enough people doing it.

eBay will do nothing about him whatsoever, I've been trying for years.

The best bet is trading standards, but when I reported him, they said they wouldn't do anything about it unless "a lot" of people complained.

So I set out all the steps on how to do that on this very forum, after all, everyone complains about him.

One other person bothered to do the same. One. ONE!!!!

Apathy rules - he will continue to get away with what he does while apathy rules.

Here's the thread where I set the steps out.

Hello dcmluckyman,

Sorry,

But a 100% copy in my opinion, my advice would be to not buy anything from this seller expecting it to be genuine.

Regards,

FMT600
