I would quite like one of these repo badges for my little memorabilia collection.
This one is currently listed on Ebay for and eye-watering 75GBP.
Any suggestions as to where I may obtain one for a more realistic price please?
Bob.

No surprise that this badge did not attract a bid on ebay.
Unfortunately my post did not attract a response either.
Has anybody any idea where these repros were produced or whether they were retailed by any of the known specialists?

This the one I acquired in the early 1970's
Unfortunately someone thought they needed it more than me & it went missing with a lot of other rare memorabilia when we did a house move.

The reproduction is an awful lot cheaper than a real one.

Don’t forget the £460 paid is plus 20% commission!

Well you missed your chance. Take a look at the relisted price

If he couldn't attract a bid at 75 he is even less likely to land one at 150...
Full points to him for his optimism and persistence.
I'd like to think that he may encourage the tea-leaf that swiped Ian's original to offer it for sale.

I don't see how he can possibly call this item "A high quality reproduction" of Ian's badge!

To be fair he didn’t mention Ian's badge. Maybe in those early days there were different versions, there certainly were different versions of Morris' own badges so I prefer to err on the side of generosity until proven otherwise

And to illustrate my point this claims to be original. It shows closer to the Ebay colour scheme (especially in the shields)
