That 2nd VB scroll gets around - it's like a parasite, attaching itself to more and more hosts.

There is a nice name for people born on the wrong side of the sheets.
They are doing a great service to our hobby.

next time you call in at Chesterfield Thursday Market you could get to meet the seller in person ! (I think he was away on the day that you last visited).

Peter,

We see the 'similar' VB copies regularly but this is a nice one.
The seller is new to me and from Liverpool but has some nice badges, unfortunately too expensive to buy though.

That’s the seller with the fake Essex & Suffolk Cyclists badge with a bid at £200 (discussed in another thread). Also couple of fake Young Citizens Volunteers badges. Apart from that some of the other items look very nice and I imagine very rare.

Regards,
Luke

I think the Essex and Suffolk Cyclists can be forgiven, the copies are very good and there's not a lot of reference material around to compare them too.

I bought a couple of Somerset bits a few week ago from them, very nice they were too.
