Marcus, you've been holding out on us. Excellent badge.

[Hans N]

Very nice Marcus

Welcome to the club. I wonder if they come in Silver as well.

Sorry guys, but I don’t like this badge and I wouldn’t like to have it in my collection. The way how the pin was bend is very unusual to say at least I also don’t like this line going through middle of catch. I know that majority of you think that this badge is good (and I have no problem with this), but it is my personal preference to stay away from this variant...

for what its worth-I have a hollow zink daisy pattern 1 with same hinge hardware and same bend of pin-though my pin end is very pointed/sharp...my catch is different

Hi Jeff,
This may change my point of view. Could you please email me pictures of your badge?

Hi Guys,

That's a 2pat Daisy, with an early zink set-up

Yes dear Phil it is. I still think it was worth posting.
Pin from Jeff’s badge is shaped in similar way as on Marcus badge. However Jeff’s Daisy pin is featuring the same markings on inside and outside of pin as on other “block hinge” Daisy’s (2nd pattern in BM and zinc). I have no problem with Jeff’s Daisy.
Marcus Daisy pin is just different. The same goes of course to catch. I have never seen this type of catch on any Daisy (1st or 2nd pattern) before. Did anyone else have seen catch like this? If “yes” could you please post pictures of it? As far as my memory goes I remember catch with similar line in the middle on some suspicious S&L PAB’s (but I maybe wrong here).

Sorry

That's OK Jeff, it was still worth it.

Dear Robert,

Thats true. It would be nice to see how it compares to Hans's catch and maybe both Marcus and Hans could post exact measurements to compare these with the more common types.

I think it is a great idea! Also Marcus, could you please post scans of your badge in higher resolution?
