I know if you are a regular watcher on eBay then you’ve seen eBay seller ajs-shop out of Germany selling “original” Scouting rings. Its pretty clear to everyone that these are knock offs made by this company (or outsourced) and are a total rip off on the BSA brand. I’m pretty sure they even make an OA Vigil ring recently. Despite all this the rings typically sell for more than $50 with multiple bids. Has anybody bought any of these rings? Don’t get me wrong – some of their look pretty but I couldn’t wear something that was obviously an overseas fake. Here is an example to see what I’m talking about.

he,at least, does not say or even imply that they are “official” … not like some of the patch sellers i run across…
🙂
Those that don’t know buy them because they look great. Those that do know buy them because they have to have everything in their collection.
