Default When a misdescription pays dividends-Naval or RMF

Trawling ebay and this listing caught my eye

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221247349199#ht_128wt_988

You will note the description! A cheeky bid resulted in the following(less screw post buttons which I already had).

Very Pleased!

Mark

A tiger emblem on a 'navel' item. Somebody has been to the movies methinks.

Interesting spelling. I'll have to remember that one.

What was you looking for belly button studs ?

Great 'find' Bill

I told this seller that it is an OTC badge but he ignored me all the same.
