Seriously?

What can anybody tell the forum about this interesting piece - legit? Seller is correct on theories? Is it against the rules to post live auctions? If so - please feel free to delete and let me know we can't do this.

I think this is just a fake, look ad the cast (marks) in the case they are from a (real) medal with 3 hooks and not from that paper-clip backside of that medal.

best regards

PS: this is just my personal opinion, no offense.

Sellers blurb:-

I certify that it is 110%

anybody giving a guarantee over 100%

I always view with suspicion.

Hi Alex! Excellent call.

A piece of utter garbage, both the badge and the pseudo-intellectual theories as to what it is !

[Paul L Murphy]

Reading his descriptions on other items he has not got a clue what he is selling. I do not know whether to laugh or get angry because he will con gullible buyers who cannot read Japanese.

I'd really hope anybody that was willing to plop down that kind of cash did their homework extensively before buying something of such a price!!!

But all this said, what the heck is it? Is it a toy or something of that nature?

You know, this guy wrote to me asking for advice on the badge and offered his theories detailed in the description. I clearly stated that none of these could be right--yet he writes all of his wild imaginings anyway. In one of his auctions he called a badge 'bug warfare' because it has a beetle in the design. Sheesh...
