And suddenly & finally came my chance to get one!!!! :jumping: :jumping: A bit less quality, but still it is the Holly First Pattern!!!!!!! I'll try to find a crown, then it will look much better!

The chipped enamel was ruining a bit my viewing pleasure, so using some harmless child's oil based paints, which can be easily removed at any time, this is the result:

Thanks Kev! If/when I find a crown for it, I promise a good photo of the finished thing :cheeky:

:Cat-Scratch: Never seen this badge before! What is the maker's info on the screw disk?

[Theodor]

On the disk is the maker:

Edelweiss, Sofia /this company made many, various badges/

Tri Ushi 16 /Street address/

Phone nr. 2-57-94

As for the price, it sounds to me insane price of 900 $ for the 2nd pattern! Was it offered for that, or actually sold for that price? IMO far too expensive, but the market is a crazy place, so why not Said that for the 2nd pattern, I must say I have no idea for the 1st pattern price!
