I'm bidding on it, so I spent some time looking closely at the setting. I think that this was originally a crown pearl badge with 20 pearls (which they stopped making a while back) and it lost a pearl. Or it's possible that they used to make 19 pearl badges as well as 20, but it's unlikely.
I had a question for any quill enthusiasts: I've seen (on ebay and otherwise) some badges that look like current double crown pearl badges with 15 seed pearls, but the pearl at the "point" of the quill is a diamond. Is/was this a standard option, or is this a customized quill?
