Dear Friends.
Nice to know I am not the only one who thinks this is a very price heavy badge.
About two years ago now there was one of these (Possibly the one on ebay now) for sale at a Bosleys Auction. I tried to buy it through their telephone auction.
I stopped when I realised that there was one other person bidding and every time I put a bid in the other person just trumped it. When it got to £400 I stopped bidding. The badge went on one increment higher than my bid I think at £420, so with commission I think the final price the winner would have paid was something in the region of £480.
It seems in these inflated times £1450.00 is an awful lot to pay for a badge that was originally thought to be worth £170 by the Auction house at the time. As mentioned above it only went to the winning bidder because I kept upping the price.
One last point. There is one of these available at a auction house that trades in Polish Badges on the web at the moment and the asking price I seem to remember is £1250.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck to the person with very deep pockets who purchases it from ebay.
Best wishes
