I would appreciate your opinions on this badge about which I have doubts and can return if fake. It is well struck from the back and the lugs curl down to the feet unlike the very flat feet seen on so many fakes. All comments welcome. Many thanks. Denis

A cast copy fake.

Perhaps one of badge man's with silver stamped on it.

Unfortunately a fake as mentioned. Note the poor detail from the front and those lugs are classic bad ones.

I bought this badge from Mollys1601 who said returns accepted so I returned it. However, they had another badge on ebay which I am fairly certain was genuine so I bid on it only to see to my surprise a message on screen saying they had banned me from bidding on their badges!! Has anyone else had this problem with them or other dealers?
Regards Denis

Dennis.

Mollys is another of those sites/dealers that has been discussed on here previously, as I recall, nothing much in their favour was mentioned.

In the past I have had several spats with them/him/her/she/he/it/they/grapefruit/hamster or whatever pronoun is opted for.

I willl never purchase from them and I would suggest that all should steer clear of them.

My opinion obviously, others may have different views/experiences.

Regards.

Brian

The seller is just another ebay dealer with a mixture of good and mostly bad badges. As always, a little research here on the forum prior to a purchase is highly recommended.
