How 'bout the buyer of the previous "replica", (and the close call for the underbidders). Any recourse for carriesitc?

This is a 100% guaranteed fake! There is no doubt whatsoever. I was 90% sure of the inaccuracy when I first outed the last of these badges, so I asked Cino's son Andrea who confirmed that it is a fake.

Non ho mai visto una targhetta simile. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A HEADBADGE
1. le targhette Cinelli venivano applicate sui manubri (40mm) e sui telai (50mm) e SONO TUTTE OVALI (non frastagliate) - ne possiedo ancora un centinaio (ovviamente originali e d'epoca) THE CINELLI BADGES WERE APPLIED TO THE FRAMES (50mm) AND STEMS (40mm) AND WERE ALL OVAL (NOT CUT OUT)- I STILL HAVE ABOUT ONE HUNDRED (OBVIOUSLY ORIGINAL AND VINTAGE) 2. lo scudo con l'elmo è su fondo BLU (e non oro) THE SHIELD WITH THE HELMET IS ON BLUE BASE (AND NOT GOLD)
3. la scritta "CINELLI" che attraversa lo scudo è in colore BLU (e non bianco) THE CINELLI SCRIPT THAT CROSSES THE SHIELD IS IN BLUE (NOT WHITE)
4. il fiore, il giglio che è l'emblema di Firenze, è su fondo BIANCO (e non giallo) THE FLOWER, THE LILY THAT IS THE EMBLEM OF FLORENCE, IS ON A WHITE BACKGROUND (NOT YELLOW)
Devo continuare con le differenze ?? (ce ne sono molte altre) DO I NEED TO CONTINUE WITH THE DIFFERENCES?? (THERE ARE MANY OTHERS)
