Thumbs down

He was a member on here and was then banned for a time but hasn’t returned.

https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ad.php?t=85353

Appeared to have little interest in contributing aside from promoting his sales and using members knowledge for his eBay listings.

Also got found out being very rude about the BBF forum and its members on a Facebook group with another ‘former member’.

Not someone I’d buy from or deal with.

No loss.

Ah. He's the one selling the North Hampshire 37 that I've been after for years but the answers I've had so far aren't encouraging. If it had been a lot lower in price I would have had it as it's only to complete my set and I'm not fussed about restrikes. I have a Franken one at the moment.

He admitted he buys badge lots at auctions to sell (to us).

So there will likely be good and bad in those lots like any auction.

The forum was for a time his authentication and ID tool.

eBay sellers who know diddly about the hobby, only use it as a cash cow and do not know good from bad are the last people on earth you should consider buying pre-territorial glengarry badges from.

Edit: just seen you’re not fussed about repros, in which case that’s fine but the starting price of £84.99 suggests it’s being sold as genuine.

Yes, he replied to my offer and said that Bosley's chap had pronounced it good.

One went through Bosleys just over 2 years ago. He may have bought it from them.
