I would also buy it for a tenner. The feathers are not the type usually seen on fakes. The brazing of the scroll looks good as does the slider.
Not all genuine badges have sweatholes behind the coronet. Genuine Pembrokeshire badges which have a guilding metal scroll as well as a coronet are found without sweatholes.
Ultimately the choice to buy is yours, it is not a huge loss at a tenner and if as myself and others believe, it is genuine, then it is worth £30 at least.
Jack.
