Agreed. You just need to officially nominate the seller to the NFSL.

The best part is that they have not even been given their post-casting acid-wash, they still have blackened parts from the casting process.

Stright from the sand-casting process to fleabay........

She's got some lovely jewellery though, even if they are not as authentic as she writes, I'm waiting for her to include a ring or necklace with an owl...
However, for the rings etc from all ages (she cites Viking, Greek, Roman, Victorian etc) with an "inscription" (some examples have SPQR, LEG, etc.) the "inscriptions" were all made with the same tool which leaves small jagged edges at the sides of the letters.  ::)
