Try uploading a photo, there are some instructions on how to use photobucket on on a sticky in here :)
I'll forgive you for impinging on my copyright, Skatiechick ;) .

I asked the other half and he thought of bluebird?
Austin Swallow, the first Jaguar.
does anybody know where i can get a value price on this badge?

You could try doing a search for any specialist Austin Swallow groups; they'd be the font of all knowledge concerning badges and the like. They might also have links on their sites to the places where they generally obtain stuff like that - you'd be able to get an idea of how rare the badge is and the prices it generally goes for.
EDIT: Check in the classifieds of the classic car magazines too. Is 'Practical Classic' still around?

Yes Practical Classics is still going.
