So you were the one who managed to talk him out of the auction before it was finished

Hello Skip,

this one ended regulary and with a fair price. Which auction you're refering to- ebay?

[skip]

Nope,

mili321 I´m talking about. I was interested as well but it suddenly disappeared from the site a couple of days before the end

I asked for better pics beforehand and if you compare the paint splashes you can see this is the same badge.

Can you PM me the winning bid?

Skip

Hello Skip,

Hi William,

The badge you posted in post #11 is a fake with other problems aside from lacking the typical flaw seen on originals.

The flaw seen on all originals is the faint diagonal "scratch" in the midline on the lower margin of the wreath on the reverse. You can see it on posts #2 and #7. It's actually caused by a die flaw.

Best regards,
---Norm
