So not only are the reverse setups different on these 127's. But the obverse is also different (top berries and 4-5-5-5) from the cast-in setup marked 127.

Mike K. noted the finish on the questionable silver example I posted in the comparison photos. Here is a full view of the reverse.

Hi,

Just resurrecting this old thread with some new info.

A Silver "127" of the questionable type (separately applied hinge/catch) just rolled up here - instead of the badge I actually ordered!

The measurements of this badge are 44.29 x 36.48 mm - basically exactly the same as Ronny's L/14 repro. Any remaining remote questionmarks I had about this type of badge actually being genuine have just been blown away.

Regards
Mike

Mike:

Thank you for your updated impression of this 127 wound badge. While it is unfortunate you received the badge in error, I'm glad you had the chance to examine it in detail and share your findings with us.

I was going to open a thread until I seen this one and decided to continue with this. I have a 127 GWB (measures 44mm high X 36.2mm wide) and resembles the characteristics posted. The needle extends past the bottom of the badge 1mm.

Purposely I have skipped all the discussion here not be somehow 'blinded' by the opinions here.

If I saw the badge in question I would go for it. In my opinion everything in it screams for its originality.

I know I can't compare my little knowledge about WBs to many of You guys but still I would say the badge is OK.

I just measured my other GWB, marked "4" on pin and it measures the same as my 127.
