Hi Ron,

That mini is an old cast fake based upon the A.G.M.u.K. design. These sets were said to have originated in the U.K., I think in the 1980s? Perhaps others can verify that anecdote.

Here's another. Notice the same linear flaw on the reverse that's seen on your example.

And another. Notice the long linear flaw in the pin; again there's a similar feature on yours.

Norm,

Super information!

Many thanks for all of the illustrations to give the facts.

Best regards,

Hi Norm,
I learned something new about these pins too. I have not studied these stickpins that carefully.

I agree, the mini looks bad and it does not belong to the set.
