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.

Where does it say it’s been repaired? Warren sells good stuff when he has a stall at Bromley.

Re post 2- Warren is well known for his good quality repairs and I mentioned that for those who don't know of him, my remarks were not intended to cause doubt over the badge for sale. As stated the badge looks fine to me. Regards, Paul.

It is the exact same badge that hammered at Wallis & Wallis for £160 last month.
https://www.easyliveauction.com/cata...ction-lot-199/ A nice badge on which I was the underbidder. Even after costs a sizeable markup to re-list it at £275. |

Just had the slider straightened a bit. Looks to have hatching to the underside edges of the slider, and most of its original finish. Regards, Paul.
