Hi Bill,

you should post this in the badges section for more response.
Just quick.

I like the B&NL, looks like a textbook example.

I don´t like the Osang. Juncker type eagle (probably cast) and weak wreath with no signs of hand finishing (also cast by the looks of it). Looks like they got the reverse setup right though (except rivets)

Last one is really personal taste. I do not believe that Gnad was a TR manufacturer of War Badges, I know that others think the opposite though. For me itslooks like another copy. Notice that it sports the same reverse setup and Juncker type eagle as the Osang above

Sorry. Just my opinions though

Hello!

I´m with Skip on the BN&L, it´s IMHO a "textbook" original!

The Osang badge is IMHO questionable and shows features of at least 3 different makers. But I´ll not scream FAKE here, just questionable at the moment.

The 3. badge looks like a late war Juncker style, except the not so common maker mark. Maybe my eyes are tired today, but I see some very light differences between your badge and mine (ex-collection), which is a 100% original one. The differences are very small indeed.........
