Period badge from this maker. The front finish may have been tampered with, but I am not sure.

Recommend you compare it closely with the many others of this type posted on this forum and try to determine if there might be a problem.

Are you looking to buy this badge?

An original badge but the obverse,especially the boat,look refinished to me ?

Could you take a shot of it further away? Not so close?

I agree, with John and Martin. Original badge but repainted. Although the finish is often well-preserved on the "AS in triangle" S-Boats, as John said, if you compare with originals in other threads you'll see the difference.

Agreed, repainted on the obverse.

I think this maker did actually use a paint, it looks like it to me. However, the paint on this one is 110% not period applied! You can see blobs and brush strokes on this job.
I do like this maker though!

Oh dear !!!

Well at least he was honest about it.

Depending on what he used to re-paint the badge it may be removed with acetone ?

Cheers,Martin.

[Philippe Gérard]

Yes,he proposed to removed it, but i ask him to let the next owner do it hisself.
