November 2013 Reference and Price Guide
Here is the new guide for November 2013. There has been a lot of things going on in this area. Collectors are starting to pay attention to WHAT they are collecting. They are also starting to pay attention to pricing although we still see the newbie's paying 50-$60 dollars for badges made in then 70's and 80's, what we call the "China Made" badges. More and more "Corporal" badges are showing up, driving the prices down. One (1) Corporal badge so far has been found to be counterfeit/fake. The material was all wrong, the luster was all wrong and it appeared the oblong backing was taken off of a 1950's badge and soldered back on to the counterfeit/fake badge. No doubt it came from china. A Lieutenant and Captain "Transition" badge from the 1920's were auctioned on ebay so we know they exist.
DON'T OVERPAY for china made badges!
