Original badge IMO...unidentified maker though believed it could be a Hymmen, though there are differences to the typical Hymmen.

A piece I would be very comfortable with...

Has some patina to it, and looks good to me. No prop,but im not sure that even matters. Ive never seen one like it, but since its not often to see a hollowback , Id say maybe 1/2 time more than a usual type, as a guesstimation, any others agree or disagree. Lets see what the consensus is across the board. Nice badge seeker.
