I own this unmarked Blockade Breaker which has a hinge and possibly catch consistent with RS.
It weighs 30 grams, the same as my other Blockade breaker but about 5 grams less than the example in the database. The sizing looks good. Obviously it lacks the RS maker mark. It appears to be zinc.
I'm not crazy about this piece. My instinct when I first got it was that it was fake. There's too many inconsistencies with the known RS pieces. I wanted to share it here for comments because there are some nice elements to it. One of the strange things about this badge is the drilling INTO and below the hinge in order to create the hole which seems like a lot a of unneccesary effort on the fakers part.
What do you think guys? If it's real perhaps its an earlier trial/experimental piece? Personally I dislike such theoretical originals.
