Looks fine to me Steve.Perhaps an early Foerster & Barth zincer,with the catch soldered into a recess on the reverse.
I think the later Foerster & Barth badges featured a circular catch plate and a flat wire catch.
A good badge,nonetheless,i think.

Regards,Martin.

I don't see anything wrong with it - apart from the common loss of finish.

Thanks guys

I figured it was OK too but there is not a lot of info on these badges in the archives. I was offered it and made an offer on it but haven't heard back from the seller yet.
