Hi Garry. I actually replied to the thread on waf, took me about 15 minutes, but after i read what i had actually written, and then took out the "F" words, took out the "S" word, took out the insults.. all that was left in my post was:
Gentelmen.... xxxx..xxxx..xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxx.......xxxxxx........XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX......XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!
so i just left it and posted something simple.
There is no need to discuss the colors, the reverse die used shows us exactly what it is, a fake from the early 70`s, using the same reverse die that is found on a number of fakes and fantasy badges all by the same British forger. This badge is not original, ANY badge that makes use of this specific reverse die, is not original. I covered this in the
book as well, but as i am only now finding out, what i was told a few months ago is actually true.

One of the people who proof read my book, said to me, "Yes but Jo, you
do know that most of the people who buy books, DONT ACTUALLY READ them?" I did find that strange, pay €115.- for a book you are not even going to read... and did actually dismiss it, BUT after what i have recently found posted on the MFF, i have to acknowledge that the advice given, was spot on.
My personal opinion is that a great deal of collectors, cant actually read English - or any other language for that matter, and are content in pointing to images in a book and forgetting that the accompanying text may actually have something to do with the images....
