Gentlemen,

What do you think of this badge. I am familiar enough to know this is the 2nd pattern globe, the rest looks like ST&L. Thoughts?

Later production with the open hinge block by S&L.

Nice S&L, later but a good looking example, with decent finish!!!!

Thanks for the confirmation gentlemen! As always your expertise is a much valued learning experience. I am becoming accustomed to looking at the fine details to make an informed decision but again getting an informed decision is always best. I saw this one up for sale on Ebay.de so I thought I would pick it up as I did not have this particular badge in my collection. Albeit a later production, it is crisp in details and looks awefully nice. The first and second run productions of most of these badges are very difficult indeed to find, but I am constantly hunting looking for those attic find treasures and whatnot.

Again many thanks

Marcus
