Thank you all

Looks ok to me.

I don't know, it looks kind of force aged to me. Repros. of these have gotten frighteningly good. Check out Rich's website with these badges:

I don't like the reverse pin, but I haven't seen any good sources on this badge. As stated above, good replicas are everywhere. Myself, I wouldn't buy one with that kind of pin unless more evidence surfaces.

Thanks Nick. I will ID it as such. Any advice on identifying the bad ones? Perhaps the bronze patina?

Perhaps the bronze patina?

Yep

Sub geometry, catching hook, form of rivet, etc.

Thanks for the info.
