dond Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Since Ferg's thread showing his excellent collection of flight badges will obviously spark interest in these items I thought I'd sound a warning to keep folks from making a bad purchase. Ebay.de is currently flooded with badges by this guy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ME:B:SS:US:1123 which come with COAs by the African Hero and chief faker, Carsten Stagemaier. I'd post pics but my work computer will not allow it.
Ferg1 Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Good point Don, I will second that , his items are dubious, Ferg1.
jaba1914 Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Good point Don, I will second that , his items are dubious, Ferg1.I agree with Fergus. I don't like the eagle aspecially the mouth and i think the ground should be smooth. All Original i see had smooth background.RegardsAlex
Stogieman Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 The finish alone on this badge should be enough to send a knowledgeable collector running for the weeds..... never mind the absolute crap "quality". :rolleyes:
dond Posted July 29, 2008 Author Posted July 29, 2008 It is a shame he has run out of TR stuff to fake and is now doing Imperial. He has several different names on ebay and is flogging all sorts of medals with his COAs.
Chris Boonzaier Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 The finish alone on this badge should be enough to send a knowledgeable collector running for the weeds..... never mind the absolute crap "quality". I dunno,maybe because it is something I never really collected... I coulda been screwed by these if i was casually offered one cheap at a show...
Claudius Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Well... there are six bids on it. The last one is a secret identity. Know doubt because he's too embarrassed to admit that he bid on this unpleasant specimen. :lol:
