Yes Roy, I've become a little paranoid these days about 'authenticity' ..never know what's being copied these days..Which is why I only try and collect hallmark silver wherever possible. And even white metal badges in excellent condition do show signs of ageing - a nice patina, a slight dullness in colour that's very pleasing to the eye...but these look too new and the clean lugs as well..
Sometimes I get so nervous and go back and check the badges in my collection over and over again
