Just watched a 17th white metal NCO Arm motto sell on ebay for £454 that's madness it had been pin broached and looked like it had a bone repair. Have I missed something ?

Was that by eBay seller ‘kent190544’ per chance?

If so his badge sales in general have also garnered interest in this thread:

Clearly a man with a lot of rare items who seems to have develop quite the eBay following with bidders prepared to spend very big on most lots. I think he’s made a small fortune since end of last year, good luck to him.

I too have been watching kent190544 and had intended to place some bids, but his badges have been fetching more than I can afford; more than most dealers I would say. No Chad is worth that money, including a hallmarked silver one. I must say it is very discouraging that some with an excess of money and lack of sensibility are pushing out those who do not from this hobby.

You would have to be extremely lucky to pick up an HM silver Chadd for that kind of money.

Happy Chadd hunting

Mac,
I don't suppose you saved an image of the motto that you could share?

I wanted his 1st VB RWK pbp. It went for £417, over double what I paid for similar to the 4th which was worn for half as long and much rarer.

Sorry can't get the picture back.
As for HM Chadds Bosley sold one on his Webb site some 7 years ago for £900. I've seen others go between £600 -£750.
My white metal and cast victorian have been around the £70 mark.
