Just a thought.

You've missed the point. We're talking about antique badges here. Collector's pieces.
Breathesgelatin said that given the price of the badge, she expected it to be heavily jeweled.
My response is that when collectors dig deep into their pockets and start coughing up thousand dollar bills, it generally has nothing to do with gold and gem content and everything to do with age, uniqueness and historical significance.
