I was offered the enclosed badge for 130 Euros (about $170). It's, apparently, and "Excellent of co-operation of Invalids badge, about 1930-38". I've not been able to find it in my badge reference books. I think this is way too much to pay, as I'm unable to verify how 'rare' this badge actually is.
Has anyone seen one before or knows a reference book it can be found in? Thanks.
Never seen anything like it. Try to get a picture of the reverse, but the white enamel just looks too white, crisp and pure for something seventy years old. Yes, I know there's a chip, but the color of the enamel spooks me.
Don't know what to tell you. Patina/metal color looks a little strange, but that could be the scan. It would be more useful to see the reverse without a screwback plate to get some clues from how the screw is affixed to the base. No ideal.
