wrong mark? wrong pin catch/hinge?

[Laurence Strong]

I think the MM should be stamped not sticking up, but I might be wrong! After looking at the reserch part of the forum I see the Silver pictured there has a protruding MM.

I've seen them 'sticking up', but not quite like this one.
Here's an example I have in my files (sorry owner, I hope you don't mind!)
Note that the mm's are slightly different, and real differnet hinge/catch..

I see! Numbers are closer together and a cast hinge from the looks of it. I quess i'm not much help to you here. Hmmm Collectors Guild

It would help to have a couple of clearer pictures o Obverse and Reverse of medal, but I like what I see. I've seen that type of catch / pin / hinge on 107s before

[Ian Lim]

Agree with Darrel, the hinge/pin setup is correct for this maker.

The maker's mark also comes in at least 3 variations:
first is what you have shown,
second is where there are horizontal lines running across the base of the numbers 107; and
third type is with the number "107" all very close to each other.

I have a silver wound badge identical to photo #5 with the 107 mint mark. Also have a black wound badge with the same style 107 mark as well.

Are there not more than a few 107 fakes around, or has that changed?
