Chaps, is the above mentioned badge for sale on eBay genuine ? Starting price is about £275.

I think this is Warren Butcher. Looks fine to me with correct slider. He does do a lot of good standard repairs but does not mention anything repaired regards this badge. Regards, Paul.

I have not seen the example under discussion, but, I think for that sort of money I would want a badge in it's original state.

Un/fortunately which ever way you look at it most people couldn't tell if a badge has been repaired, refinished or played around with unless you know what you're looking at/for.
