Hi Norm,
Is that the hooks and hinge areas?
Kind regards Chay

Yes, top hook, catch and ball hinge - areas where the hardware is crimped into place.

Best regards,

Ok I have taken some digital camera images, not mobile phone which are very clear on these areas, I will try to transport them to my old computer, I only use iPads now and so have forgotten the old resize find images on an actual PC ,
Kind regards Chay

Here's a compilation of the last 3 examples I've seen with the round-wire catch. When you compare to the one in the opening post you can see that all four have an inset catch crimp with a raised border that seems specific to this variant -- likely all from the same production run.

I agree.
All examples of round wire catch variant are scooped backs comming from the same production run.
Cheers,
Hubert

You certainly did! Nice photos, especially compared to the first ones, and an excellent badge as well. Congratulations!

Norm,
I'm not rolling my eyes, just deciding if I should add two more "variant" badges to my Gablonz list and wondering how I'm ever going to rationalize to the missus why I need two more badges that look (to her) just like the one I already have!

Dale,
Thank you, it was easy but it's been a while and I'm somewhat forgetful these days
Kind regards Chay
