The seller also reported the site of this patch as 102mm (about 4 inches). Authentic examples of the 227 R1 are 3" round. Others have reported contacts with the seller of this piece:

He writes in poor English, another dead give away in my opinion. Definately not from Great Britian. Thanks to the e-Bay VeRO program,I got him stopped last time but he recently tried again by not showing the picture and asked for buyers to email so he could send them a picture as "eBay not letting selling this patch." Someone bought it this go around before I could get it worked out with eBay to stop it...This is a shady character for sure.
