If this is the case, who and why had the badge cast and then assume sent to the Assay Office, or faked the Hallmarks. It seems a lot of work to make what seems to all to be a fake and being sold for fairly modest cost. I think I am somewhat relieved that I really no longer actively collect, what a nightmare for today's collectors! Regards, Clive.
