A fine original, too bad about the missing catch though.

Hi Andy......
......IMHO the badge that Mike shows us demonstrates what is considered typical construction for RK.RK ? my RK looks like this on the back
I am not sure whether yours is a variant of RK, or a different manufacturer altogether. There is also a difference in the blood groove on your badge, when compared to other, known accepted examples of RK GAB's. This has been pointed out several times in the recent past.

Hi Mike
With all the copies and refinishes in abundance, it is always nice to see a badge that looks original straightaway. Yours is one of those in my opinion.
Really nice appearance.
