Hi Guys,

how come this fabulous badge is stuck at the auction for just 2.- € ( 321) ?

How come this 'beauty' would be sold for 2700.- € ?

(that's the minimum asking price !)

I do not like the 'yellowish' colour of the wreath !

I remember that we had a similar discussion some time ago ?!

Regards

Hi Wolf,

i believe some slight variation in finish is accepted. Even if it's from the same maker.
I have seen several original and untouched badges that have a (slightly) different finish. Especially the GWL/FLL badges.
For me totally logic as maybe one is from another time frame.
For the moment i have two FLL PO's. One with a deep gold finish, one with a more lighter, creamy gold finish. Both in mint condition, so it has nothing to do with patina.

Please take a look

I believe the difference is clearly seen with makers that have a high quality finish that stood the test of time. Like GWL/FLL.

Hi Guys,

please don't get me wrong !

As we had a similar discussion before

(if I remember well enough it had been Lobo's badge)

I just want to be convinced/sure should I ever come across

a badge coloured like that !

Your reasoning makes sense !

Thank you

Wolf
