I would like to see better pics of the MK1 mm. Also straight pics from the obverse and reverse of the MK1 and L/56. So far I don`t like them at all.

Hi Sven

I have posted the extra pics as requested. I have looked and looked again at others shown, specifically in the members area and must admit, I do not see anything wrong with these(woudn't be the first time I was wrong) with the exception of the pin as already mentioned.
You mentioned you did not like them at all and I would appreciate your expanding on this comment as I still have an option to return them should they be wrong.
regards

Sorry to bring this back to the top again only I could really do with some answers. A couple of members expressed concerns with these badges and requested additional pictures which I have supplied. I bring this back up with the hope of definate answers one way or the other as I need to return the badges within a specific time should they not be good.
Many thanks in anticipation

Hi Andy

Well I think they all look ok. I already mentioned that the pin on the Assman looked "weird".
Maybe the wear on the bayonet area of the L/56 put people off? The maker mark on the MK1 was also mentioned, but I have one with exactly same style.

regards

I think the MK1 is OK as well. I think some may have been put off by the softness of the eagle but your addition pics show the shear marks and good detail in the acorn cups. So I like it.

The Assman I would not touch. The pin was replaced at best and with the addition pics it seems to me that there is at least a chance this badge is not right. Now, this is just me and it maybe fine but to me.....I don't see shear marks but rather the edges of the badge seem crude and beat up. The detail is certainly there but there is just something odd about the edges of the badge. So again, might be a good one with a replaced pin but not for my collection.

The L/56 seems fine to me as well.
