Strange looking Auxiliary Cruiser badge

[Van]

Hello,
Was wondering if this is a good badge, looks like it has a copper under coating,
a repaired catch possibly. The badge is thick and heavy, I hope the pictures give a good idea of the badge.. thanks for any help.

If it is a good badge is $450.00 a reasonable, very good or not so good of a price for it???

Looks like a crude fake to me.

Hi Van,

I have to agree with Don. It doesn't seem to be a copper undercoating but rather an actual solid copper casting of a Souval Auxiliary Cruiser. You can see the base metal in the chip on the tip of the left wing and lots of green verdigris in other areas.

Best regards,

Agreed, very bad.

Reverse pictures tell all, it's a very bad fake.

Thanks for the replies and information, I did not quite like the looks of it either especially the catch, pretty crude....
