A rare one here!
This is surely the long lost and forgotten 1898 to 1921 NCO special pattern....
This seller's fakes have reached a new level of absurdity and price; taking up a huge amount of space on ebay that I am sick of having to wade through. https://www.ebay.com/itm/12490808847...UAAOSw5shhRgoJ CB

I'll be generous and ascribe this to incompetence rather than malice. The guy has a ton of stuff and I'm sure he thinks it's all genuine. A random flip through suggests a small amount is. Maybe he's one of those collectors who can't come to grips with the fact that he bought a lot of dross, or perhaps he's unaware of the pervasiveness of fakes and restrikes.
There's also a healthy dollop of laziness. Everything is titled as a cap badge, even when he also correctly identifies it as a shoulder tile, formation sign ,etc. His prices are, um, optimistic. |

Around a year ago I bought a very reasonably priced genuine Highland Cyclists from them. Since then they’ve had little new stock and most is rubbish or overpriced. Rather I expect what’s happened is they’re a small business who bought a very large collection with a lot of repros and are now left with the chaff and an ‘online museum’. |
