If a readily available badge had badly damaged enamel it is unlikely to sell , remove
all the enamel and it becomes an 'oddity' that may attract attention and get a few bids.
I've no plans to bid , just 'watching' to see how much it eventually goes for.
NB - I have put bids (and won) a badge with serious damage to the enamel but that was a British Legion "For Merit" badge. This is the Legion's highest award , the BL version was only issued/awarded from 1960-1971 (then RBL version) and not many would have been awarded during that period.
So , purchased as a 'place holder' until I can find a good quality one.
