I'm thinking I may need assistance

**Allegra** · 07-30-2013, 09:50 AM

I have to admit that I'm becoming somewhat discouraged in my search for items relating to Imperial Aviation.

I have searched high and low (apart from E-bay - I am the first to acknowledge that I just don't have the experience for that particular minefield at this time) for these items.

The sites I have bookmarked include a variety of what I would term reputable dealers and yet I believe that certainly some of their material is questionable (after reading and re-reading the posts by Steven M and Ferg1) - notably badges.

Can anyone point me in a direction to find said items?

Believe me - any assistance would be appreciated!

Cheers
Tim

[Edit - forgot a word!]

Ahh! Thanks Kris - I just may have to join.

I agree that it tends to be better to buy from a Forum member than not.

I certainly can relate to your guys interest in this; there are some beautiful WWI aviation badges.

One can be a forum member with only a few posts, and even a forum member with 5,6,700 hunderd or even more post's can be unreliable too!!
We had that experience on thise forum a couple of times.

They certainly are Scout. But there are just too many - IMHO - Bavarian badges in particular, being sold to be legit.

Have you heard of Bombphoons Vintage Aviation ? I have not dealt with them personally, however, the owner likes to keep his customers updated with the latest fakes and scams. They certainly have a wide range of rare and interesting items
