You must be kidding. Nice enamel, 1929, named. $50!!! I think that if you paid that for it you got a good deal. I would have guessed much higher.

New World,
If you bought it for $50 that's a terrific deal. There are many collectors of shooting memorabilia, who would easily pay a $100 for this badge.

Well,
I am actually a bit wrong here when I said $50.
I saw this badge on eBay for opening bid of around $50, but there was also reserve price (I am not sure what the reserve was).
I did not know what was the last bid, but I saw the same badge for sale again, meaning that it did not sell first time.
Best,
New World
