I received a message the other day about some ID'd WWII 82nd Airborne insignia being sold by eBay seller baggypantsdevil.
First and foremost this post is to bring attention to other USMF Members & Collectors about these claimed ID'd pieces being sold on eBay. I don't have an issue with the insignia's authenticity since they are known Original pieces, however i do have a issue with any Seller claiming an item is " ID'd when it is not ".
Here is the link to the first claimed ID'd insignia with the Sellers comments:

As you can see for yourself, these items are identical and were purchased from different sellers in the last Month on eBay.

 

This Dishonest Seller has misrepresented these items and who promised ID'd items which he can not deliver.

 

I thought this was important enough to bring to others attention.

The guy is bad news. Known faker and con artist. If you search the name here i'm sure you will see plenty of feedback. Get your money back. Good luck.

Agreed, didn't purchase the items just bringing it to others members attention who may be thinking of purchasing the insignia, since it's not ID'd as the Seller claims.
