Selling a mezuzah to a goy

I suppose this is a bigger problem for Judaica shops who are open to anyone who walks in off the street. What isw the halachah? Perhaps Rabbis Bloomestiel or Gorman would have experience in this matter?

    One may not sell or give a mezuza to a goi (for the intent of puting on his doorway), if there is a chashash {of aiba, see however Pischei Shearim p. 365} or sekana it is allowed - Rema 291:2 Yoreh Deah.

    We do not sell to a Goy, If we suspect we ask which Shul are they members of.

    Here in London a Mezuzah was presented to the Queen. Firstly it was written without Kidush Sheimos.
    It was sewn into a Silver Case and there was no Writing on the Back.

    There is also a Problem selling Tallis and Tzitzis to a Goy, this is a much harder task for us.

Question to Yosef Chaim B

Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients."

We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that  דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.  Nor are we interested in those who said to use  עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
