I looked more carefully at this badge.
I think it an excellent copy. :thumbsup
There are several reasons:
1. Looks TOO NEW (enamel) for the badge 87 years old. There is a possibility of the badge being restored, but very little.
2. I checked all the badges of this seller that he has for sale. They are great, but most of them in the same condition (good condition).:rolleyes: BTW, the seller does not say it’s a copy, but does not say it’s original. Only what he says – silver.
3. As I said before the badge is 87 years old and only 250 pieces where issued. So, it’s a VERY RARE badge.:cool: I don’t believe in miracles. :D This kind of badge cannot be $450.00. The price of the original badge is around $10,000.:mad:
However, I bought this badge as a copy, for the price of the copy (less than $450.00) for my collection. I doubt, I will find an original badge.;) Even if I find one, I will not be able to pay $10,000 (if I don win Powerball) :D
When I receive the badge, I will be able to take better pictures.
