Default misdescribed and broken badge sells at auction

hi all
in an auction today in WA there was a badge sell for $300.
it was misdescribed and broken. "Australian Boer War shoulder title 1st Western Australian Contingent. Brass title, with ‘pinched’ lugs to rear."
how does a WA dealer/expert get away with this??
the first pic is the badge, the second pic is mine, 3rd pic is of the badges in the Freo fort museum
bc
