I use this seller every now and again, but I'm always cautious... Have you had a previous experience or spotted a lot of fakes?

My suggestion: Go for this Afrikamedal on e-stand instead, with original ribbon to the medal and it looks very nice

I have bought from him before put the item up here & passed with flying colours.
However, when i mentioned his name a few members went pretty much crazy. I did say that i had no problems & one member got quite abusive.
It's a difficult one. I have bought from some sellers who are listen on this forum as the best there is & been very unhappy. Yet i have bought from this dealer who has a bad reputation here & been very happy

Thank you for your help.
However, i have already bought the medal on an auction site. He was not under his business name so i did not know who i was buying off until i received an e-mail from him.

Larger pictures?

Hi Anthony,

Might you have larger photos for us to view? Also, have you photos of maker and designer marks?

Regards,
Stu

All i have are the small pictures. Have tried to enlarge them but they have been taken with very few pixels.
Will pay today & get some more pics up.
Don't think it would be fair to name the seller yet, let's see what turns up first.
