Seller states and I quote......

NAMED: NO.2368 PTE. H.S. FOSTER DEVON REG.
(PLEASE UNDERSTAND WE ARE NOT PROFESSONIAL GRADER MAKE YOUR OPINION ON THE PICTURE YOU SEE)

A Driefontein clasp from the next DNW auction.

Hi Mike

Very interesting and perhaps an email to the seller would put him right. It would also show up at the bottom so that no one would be caught out although the moment someone says "we are not professional graders...." That would be a red flag straight away.

If the seller actually states "genuine" he or she, very clearly, has absolutely no idea whatsoever, however, anyone that actually does, will not be "taken in" by these particular clasps, they could not really be any more obvious.

The thing that gets me is there was 32 bids and sold for $135.00 plus $4.00 shipping.......
