English silver tip badger hair brushes

I see a lot of silver tip badger hair brushes from the UK selling new on ebay for around 30 USD. Is there a catch that seems awfully cheap? Even on close out my above the tie was around 45 I think.

Contact seller, ask questions, get them to STATE its a Silver Tip Badge, iff they beat and switch eBay will protect you.

My understanding is that just about all badger hair comes from China these days, even if the product is assembled in Europe/UK/USA. In addition, there are plenty of luxury brands based in Europe/UK/USA that outsource the bottom of their product range overseas. Read all the fine print if it’s important to you. Good deals can be found but I’m usually suspicious at first.

There are lots of cheap 'English brands' selling on the web which have nothing to do with England/UK and use low quality materials. Most likely they are manufactured in China and online sellers just order them in large quantities.

And this wave of cheap brushes are not only on ebay, I see them now in the catalogues of some large stores here in the Netherlands as well, replacing good and popular makers.
 
Could be simple (clipped) Pure brushes, do the pics even look like 2Band/3Band Sivertip?

This is a Simpsons Best brush but with the distinctive banding and no set rules for badger hair grades someone could present it as Silvertip…
