Quick reply but I think he missed my point. Oh well....

I like his pricing!!! I'll take £1500 for it... ;-)

I think your badge is rarer than you think Rob, how many people could afford to buy or justify paying for this at £50-70 in 1918?

Tks for the info Rob. Still I think a very expensive 'sweetheart pin' in those days.

I think you have a real gem there.

Cheers Al

I would think a Major could afford it in his salary. I'll have to dig up Meikle's file again but I believe he came from a prosperous family.
