Civilians in Uniform Badge.....a selling price
Hello all.I am offered this badge, (see link,Peter Doyle post #2) by a reliable Canadian seller and, I have no source whatsoever to check for a reasonnable selling price.I know that this badge is quite scarce (I haven't seen one before). SO what kind of money can I expect to put down for an original one.

Just to update this thread I have now brought an original version and it only cost me £55. I think geoff Newman had one for about £70.

This auction ended earlier:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142309733588? It had a combination of the civilians in uniform badge and a regular REME badge. Any thoughts?

By the middle of the war the increased range of armoured and ‘soft-skin’ vehicles used by the Army, each with its own maintenance characteristics, required a degree of specialization which REME was unable to offer. Vehicle manufacturers in Britain, America and Canada were asked to supply experts on the equipment which their factories produced to visit units and establishments to provide help and advice, the task of co-ordinating these experts given to REME.
In 1944 when it seemed likely they would be asked to serve abroad, they were put into uniform and authorised to wear the Civilian Special Service cap badge and ‘Civilian Technical Rep’ slip-on shoulder titles, the latter very scarce. I would suggest that the green badge with the REME badge affixed was worn unofficially by one of the civilian tech reps. The attached photo shows that other badges were worn on the green circle. Jon
