Blockade Runner Lapel Pin - Opinions Please

[5ribbonbar]

I have a Blockade Runner lapel pin I am not sure about.

I already have a good one that is in the box set with the full sized badge. I have put all the photos here as a reference. The last set of photos is for the pin in question.

In the first phots, the pin I am asking about is the smaller one on the bottom, and the second photo, it is the one on the right.

Both the original and the one in question measure about the same diameter from top to bottom at around 26 mm. The ships are pretty darn close, but there is a difference in the eagle head a little.

The one I am wondering about does not seem to have any obvious casting marks or pitting, but is fractionally thinner in width.

Any opinions on it are greatly appreciated.

The other photos...

The back shot seems to show a lot of pitting but in person it does not seem like this much at all.

Try again

Have had no opinions on this little guy yet...hoping to try again and see what some of you think.

Lapel pin

IMO, I would not want this piece. It does look cast to me. The blob below the top window looks bad. The rear wing where it touches the ship looks bad. The wings, the head, It all looks really bad. Plus the placement of the rear pin does not match the placement on an original. That is just my opinion, maybe someone else can tell you something about it. Smitty
