Hi
A very interesting badge. I can't find this particular one listed in 'Australian Wat Badges of WW 1 and 2' which is the authoritative review of such official badges by Graham Donley. He does, however, discuss a Navy Volunteer for Home Service badge on page 4, which is different to the one listed on eBay. I have attached a copy. The listed badge may have been one that slipped under the radar when Donley was compiling his book which would make the badge exceptionally rare.
I don't doubt the integrity of the seller of this badge. I have bought from him in the past and have found him to be an honest person.
Regards
John
