Hi Harvey,

With the nice even maker mark lettering and some soft/weak features, this is an example that I do not like - imo a repro.

I agree, this is a fake.

Whenever I see a clasp without a shot of the pin down, I think fake anyway.

I agree with Mike and John.

The lettering on the MM is incorrect.

Also, it may be the lighting but the basemetal has a "brass" look to it and does not appear to be zinc ?

Regards,Martin.

I also think we have seen this same badge before, not sure where or exactly when.

Thanks very much for your replies. I was pretty sure they were fake but just wanted to make sure. Thanks again.
