SA Sports Badge for War Wounded

[Patrick W]

Hi Guys,
I would appreciate some opinions on this badge that I just received. Im 90% sure that it is a good one but would like it checked out as you don't see many of these around.
It is marked RZM M1/100 and the mark has a slightly 'squashed' look to it when viewed closely. The badge is zinc with most of the bronze finish intact although it has faded somewhat. There is also some deterioration to the finish on the back.

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Heres a gold one i just got in from the same source. Also appears good. Wartime type, Redo with the tall letters. Finish rates about 95%.

Patrick, could we see what's under the pin on the SA Sports Badge for War Wounded? Too much finish on these has become a red flag for me but I'm paranoid anyway!

[Patrick W]

Bob believe me I understand your paranoia! I will get some camera shots done tomorrow! Cheers, Patrick

Ps How is Dublin? I'm looking forward to having breakfast in Cafe en Seine next year when I'm over again!

Heres a couple of shots of the maker mark. These are the best i could get as the relief is quite low. The lettering looks squashed in some areas but I'm sure I have seen this before on other examples.

Anyone got any opinions?
