Well to me it did look legite, I mean with the 322 and everything. I also believe that is why he is asking $3220.00, I guess he figures he should stay with the mystical aspect of it. I was also reading somewhere that the number is so 'unique' that even a nonmember donated $322,000 (courtesy of wikipedia.org ....'skull and bones secret society' for the search).

I completely understand Mikes point, though, it should have been left as it was bought, but then agian why was it even on a bracelet in the first place, considering the overall secrecy of the society in itself.

As for its authenticity, this particular gentleman also has a Wolf's Head badge, which is also a secret society at Yale. Another neat item that he is selling at the moment is a Delta Phi badge. Oh and if you go back a few threads, you may find the one where I was asking about paying $800 for a TKN badge, he is also the seller of that item as well. So he does have a tendency of acquiring some nice badges, but he also tries to make as much as possible from them too, judging by his prices. Hell just look at our AM pin that he wants $45 and $50 for.

On a side note, this gentleman lives in the Greensboro area apparentley, which is where I am right now (no it isnt me...LOL). Have emailed him several times, but he is usually slow to respond, personally I would have liked to have seen that TKN badge in person, but so far no luck, and I wont even consider it if he doesnt come down some. I mean it only has the diamond in the middle, and pearls on the edges, but it does have an inscription on the back and a pearled A chapter guard. So overall, if he was to drop a little in price, then maybe I would cough up some money, but we'll wait and see on that one.
