You'll likely only see 1 or 2 genuine 'roos up for sale in any given year and you are unlikely to find a bargain as these are actively sought now by our Association members, surviving families and our Archive. If I see one for under $600 I buy it.
Thank you Bill, I believe I have a genuine one that I would be willing to sell. I will take some good pictures over the weekend and post it again on this thread. In the meantime I have attached a photo of it in situ (the collector paid $550 in the 90's).

It was part of a large collection of mailnly British and Australian badges from a well known collection in Tasmania.

Regards

Ellis
