There are a wide range of these badges with the SBW in a cloverleaf logo. They are a takeoff on the original logo BSW in a cloverleaf, used by Brüder Schneider, Wien. These badges were produced by Sean Barry Weske, who worked in Hollywood, California. They are crude repros that were used as film props. I believe Mr. Weske passed away a year or two ago.

Besides this lead cast worthless super fake...
I think anyone better skip this badge from his/her brains,fake or "real"...
In the collector's world it's no more than a period "fantasy" design with no proof at all..
It's not about the badge...,but 10 million people are still waiting for the first era pic/photo which shows that badge on a jacket...
The pic will be worth much more than the badge in question IMO.
Start looking...,who knows..?

Hehehe, ya gotta love it just the same. There hasn't been a spirited debate over these since Bill Stump (R.I.P.)and another forum member got into it a couple of years ago on the forum. However, the fake they were discussing was far superior to the one that started this thread.
