Listers, So I merely want to know which one of the these fakes corresponds to the Fake Ebay badge? And why was Mr. Cinelli so non-comittal in his response below? Cheers, Dave Anderson Cut Bank MT
The photo with the answers (fake badges have the Japanese script over them)
is posted at: http://www.villagephotos.com/
Andrea Cinelli has responded below. The translation of his comments would be:
>From the images, it is very difficult to distinguish the background colors,
and the surface. I can only say that
1) all the smaller badges (the originals that I have) have a gold colored
lily on white background (the snake is also in gold)
2) On the larger badges, the lily is red on white background (the snake is
green).
I will leave the choice up to you (badge E seems to respond most to the
above-mentioned requirements)
You would also need to feel them to be sure.
>Thanks for playing!
