based on these pictures; first one with stitching showing a definite so called Austrian 1970's reproduction which I have described in this thread. The second is an lovely unworn authentic type 2 (less commonly found type) tdb.

This is an excellent thread you worked on....I read it from page #1 right up to the end!
A question for you:
Have you come across any Silver 'tapes' that were set-up wrong in the jacquard & came
out with less than 24 "ribs" in the silver wire embroidering between the black borders?

Thanks for your compliment, I am glad to have been able to expose the different variants and help people on separating the reproductions from the originals.
To answer your question; no, it is a feature which I have not researched yet. I suppose they could exist but the whole badge would need to be reviewed.
The backings of the tdb's are to be discussed here in the future but meanwhile I need more photographic images of the still existing badges.
If you have interesting pictures then please post them.
