SIH badge
Hi all,
I know that the SIH badges are heavily faked but what are forum members opinions about this badge? Thanks

Not one that I would want either. While it may be possible that it was period made, it is certainly wanting in quality. The finish and blades are awful.

Its probably better to ask BEFORE you buy it in future.

Life is so often a learning curve, it certainly pays to think twice, in particular, if it seems a bargain.

I am so much better of finding items locally so I leave the evilBay to professionals.

I don't think there is anything wrong with buying of ebay, but, it helps if you buy from someone you know and can trust, if not, you need to be fairly sure yourself before parting with the money, if a badge is offered as original and it is not, then you have a reason to return it.

Being a member of this invaluable forum has been my ticket to buying on ebay.
Whenever I spot something I am not sure of, I check it out here first. I cannot overstate how the expert members of this forum have helped me, much less the money saved! CB
