Default Funny shoulder titles

Why doesn't a certain seller on Ebay answer a query about his shoulder titles. He has some rare titles for sale, they all look very clean and new. Not only that he has always got two or more. Instants, 3 over Birmingham/Warwickshire, fairly rare but he had 3. !!!! one time a lot of Military Crosses ??? Opinion from members. JG

Hello John

You have not mentioned any names, so I can only guess that the items are all fakes!

As has been said on the Forum before, if a dealer is offering multiples of the same rare items then draw your own conclusions. If he won't answer any questions about originality then draw your own conclusions.

Avoid like the plague unless you want to buy fakes!

Roger

Hi Roger, I collect N/Derby just annoys me when sellers do not reply about a query about a title that he has for sale, seller is badgeman.

I would stay well clear of this seller, well known for his items unless you want space fillers and note them as such. Over to you.

Let's just say that I would not touch this guy with a barge pole, telegraph pole or any other type of pole. I once saw him offering a Liverpool pals badge for £6......if it's too good to be true, then it Isn't!!!!

You're not an orphan there, John. The same seller would not reply to my query about a couple of rather immaculate Australian collar badges.

No answer so no interest from me.

Yes, this dealer does seem to have complete sets (sold individually) of Birmingham Pals shoulder titles with eyebrow raising regularity.

They look good from the front...but...
