The badge was sold by Military Trader run by the Flitters from Louth, quite well known for faking paperwork. My gut feeling is that it is a genuine badge, but with a fake envelope.
Compare the turned wooden support for this helmet: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174006403297? With this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143362504979? |

If the paperwork is fake then what would the badge be worth because of the then lack of provenance?

Bosley’s boast here that they sold a 1942 dated one for £460 in January https://www.bosleys.co.uk/en-GB/77th...ces/blog_10034
Add fees and that’s about £570, but, at a specialist auction that often commands a premium. On eBay I think most would be hoping to come in significantly below that price. |

Nice badge, but, not at that price actually paid.

but it gets worse, the stakes even higher. avid fans of Columbo will know the suspect always slips up.
