Shaun:

I don't like it at all!

Looking at it from the reverse I notice that the "rays" do not
match-up in many places....The 'quality' of the workmanship
just isn't there!

Looking at it from the front I notice that the "rays" do not
line-up & in the one's I've owned over the years I always had
the piece that had the "rays" lining-up. I would not buy it!

Hi
No no, quietly, we need better pictures. It's possible unmarked S&L

Hi Jacek

What close ups do you need to see? Pin? Hinge? Catch?

I will ask my friend to take more pics.

Thanks
Shaun

the date, hinge and catch, should weigh about 53,0g and have dimensions of about 64/64 mm

Does it have the 57's scratch in the pin's head?...if so, possibly it would be a postwar S&L.

Not sure ... could have the 'scratch' ?

It's obviously an S&L .. but post war? ... as with this maker it is always the Million Dollar Question whether it is post war or not. Most believe these are.

Once again thanks for the help on this Gents. I am not a medal collector please could someone post a pic of the 57'Scratch so I can ask my friend what to look for.

The forum member Thomas Durante posted a thread called " Difference between Wartime & 1957 S&L badges".
