I take you are not familiar with badges from this manufacturer, their badges were actually of quite good quality compared with some others, copper wire loops were normal, I would not say they were ugly, this company normally marked it's silver badges Sterling as in this case, rather than using a set of hallmarks, but, never stirling.
I certainly do not think buying it would constitute a waste of money, given it's relative scarcity, in particular, when compared with hallmarked examples by Gaunt.
When you say, if it was made in Britain and so on, do you think the badge is spurious?

Stirling is usually on imported silver items or those for export. wouldn`t waste my money on it.This is a hallmarked one.
