Not my filed at all but I'm a long time lurker and I suspect Bob [above] means that originals are in the 'hen's teeth' category and I know ree-strikes/fakes are not uncommon. So, just statistically, people tend to say 'Nope!' but Bond has provided sevarl clues and from my very very limited experience I'd say the metal looks awfully flimsy and the detail arounf the lion dodgy.

Thanks for your comments. I know statistics are working against me on this one but the badge is much more substantial in hand and the lions detail is really pretty good, again in hand. The picture was pretty crappy.
