Hi Bob

As you are trying to learn, I would suggest never buying from pics such as these. Most sellers these days can provide clear scans or much better pics. Always try and view pics that are straight on and if need be clearer hinge and catch shots.

Some of the more experienced guys will buy from bad pics, but they usually do this if a badge is rare or sought after.

Hello Graeme,
Thank you for your words of wisdom,well to be fair I hardly ever bite unless I get the thumbs up from the guys on WAF,it would be foolish to part with any money unless the green light is given...I may add a bargain original para badge came from this very source
Best Regards
Bob

Glad you scored

OK Guys I received those badges today,here are some better pics hopefully

Comments welcomed and appreciated

First up the GAB

[ENGLISH BOB]

IAB looks to have been repaired,badge/hardware is non magnetic..

[ENGLISH BOB]

catch

[ENGLISH BOB]

catch2

[Graeme]

The latest full pics you have posted are much better.

The GAB looks in good condition with hardware all intact.

The IAB looks good, but I agree with Tom, earlier in the thread, that the catch has been replaced.

regards
Graeme

Hi Bob,

I can only agree with the others, both the GAB and IAB are fine originals, but the IAB catch is replaced unfortunately.
