Default Super Rare Cloth Home Guard Badge

Was very pleased to pick this up today. A large size black and white framed photograph of what appears to be a National or Auxiliary Fire Service unit. Mounted in the frame, below the photo is a super scarce near mint and unworn light blue on red embroidered arm badge for 1st Battalion Vickers Armstrong Home Guard. Also shown is the rear of the frame showing that it has not been opened up for many, many years.
Plenty of copies of the metal cap badge on the market but how many of the GENUINE cloth badges (and particularly in this condition) have survived ?
Not my field of collecting so if anyone is interested It is for sale and will consider REALISTIC offers. Please excuse quality of photos and reflection in glass !
