Ridiculous price. £100 tops.

Absolutely ridiculous price. I agree with Keith, £100 or thereabouts at the most. I bought one with replacement lugs a couple of weeks back for a sixth of the price of this one, the front equally as good as the one sold here. (hopefully going on holiday to Dave soon for a refit).I would have liked this one but dropped out at £40 I think, had a suspicion it would get silly.

As it happens, there's another one on ebay at present, starting at £50, I'll be watching to see what that reaches.

For that kind of money, I hope it was the final piece needed to complete someone's collection!

I held back from bidding precisely because I have no idea what this badge typically sells for. I have previously had the painful experience of overpaying for a badge when I could have had it for less from a trusted dealer or fellow collector.
