I have let him know. I’ve bought good items in the past form them and been very happy so hopefully it will be removed.

Sadly there are fakes and dubious badges in varying numbers on every one of the main dealer sites.

This is why when new members ask for ‘trusted dealers’ to buy from I always advocate researching perspective purchases on here rather than blind trust. Even the best make mistakes, the first page of Minden is testament to this with the fake FANY badge for £190!

I’ve always found Paul and Fern are very pleasant and helpful. In the past whenever I’ve pointed out errors and repros they’ve acted accordingly.

Hi Luke you’re right about the fakes. I’m more familiar with Norfolk Units and there are fakes on most of the dealers websites. I’m sure that most don’t realise as the extent of faking must be worse than ever. I pity people starting out particularly youngsters. It’s a good job this forum exists.

All the best
