Sandgroper, thank you for always posting nice comments, they are appreciated! This badge really does look great. I bought it at a show where I asked the seller what he was asking for it, he replied, "how about $45?", I didn't even reply and plucked $45 onto the table and walked away with the badge. Besides a cheap fake I have, this has been the least expensive badge I now have and it's one of the best conditioned.

Mate, I can only dream of that kind of deal here in Australia, if I paid double that I would consider it a great deal and it really would be!!
I'm sorry it's so difficult to get a deal where you are! This was the first and only great deal I received. The seller had just one badge on his tables and apparently wanted to off-load it. Mostly they sell for around $100, give or take $25. Early, signed badges are more expensive, of course.

I've posted pics of this badge on another thread but thought I'd put it here where it belongs. An early Austrian badge from Rudolf Schanes of Vienna, they were only made from 1927 till 1933 before they were banned. It has a bit of enamel damage around the outside but overall is not too bad.
Nice badge sandgroper, difficult to find these.
