Feeling better yet.

It has been awhile since i have had time to post some of my finds, so i need to do some catching up. In the last few days i have had a couple of pieces confirmed repros but i had one that i thought was good, wasa nota soa good ah? So i have decided to post some of my recent and semi recent finds for the forums review. Good, bad, or otherwise all comments are appreciated.

Hi,

I agree with the impication of Rob's question - seems to be a genuine zinc badge (dimple-back variety) but in this case the hinge/pin (not catch) may be repaired/replacements.

The hinge has definatly been repaired. I have seen some repairs that look aged, are there distinctive features of period repairs? Aside from discolor and rust?

Can you show the catch please?
