ARMY BALLOON OBVERSE'S BADGE

Oh boy!!! What I always wanted. An Army Balloon Observer's Badge direct from a Ex-Royal Marine, survivor of 1941 Clydebank Blitz, and guaranteed authentic. Brought back from a Scottish WWII veteran no less.

I may bid on his RARE authentic Luftwaffe Ground Combat Clasp. It is so nice to see a vet picking up so much rare treasures from the Clydebank campaign. Woop dee do!!!!

[Ken Jasper]

Holy Cow, he is offering a Coburg badge "guaranteed authentic" and the current bid is only $51 dollars. Boy, I'm going to jump on that puppy. And to think I always thought I would have to part with at least $3,000 to get one for my collection.

So these ARE fakes??????

[Ken Jasper]

No Dez, they ARE genuine period pieces. They are Vet bring backs aren't they?

[Mike Dunn]

Such a deal too!!!!! Mike

[Dez H]

Well of course all vet pieces are original, people never lie. The idea of fakes belong to the paranoid minority who drink too much coffee and lurk in the shady corners.

Actually, these wonderful originals have a dual purpose. The other being that if your pencil breaks, simply pick up one of those lovelies and write with it!

THE BADGE

The Ebay seller, Sean Turner sent me clearer photo's of this crummy fake. Here it is. It is now at $37.02.

[W. C. Stump]

REVERSE

The reverse.

[Ken Jasper]

Bill, did you tell Sean that it is a piece of junk? If so, what was his reaction?

[W. C. Stump]

TOLD HIM, BUT HAVEN'T HEARD BACK

Mr. Turner:

As a collector and researcher for over 50 years, I hate to disappoint you, but the badge, and most of the other you have listed on your Ebay auctions are out and out fakes of the worst quality. Someone has terribly and fraudulently misled you for you to state in your descriptions that these items are original W.W.II items.

Respectfully,

William C. Stump

He has probably fainted at the sheer shock, I mean I had absolutely no idea these were fakes, you can’t begin to imagine how distort I am, imagine the Suffering he is going though.
