Hi Khyber,

Yes mine was from Mike at Arctic. I had mulled over it for a very long time, the repaired lug put me off but now I have it, I couldn't be happier.

I have also seen your dest ornament, now that is a stunning piece for sure.

As mentioned I have seen a handful of these badges and noted that my example has a lot more detail than most. You can really see the definition (amongst other details) in the muscles etc. I don't know of any fakes but just suspect this may be an earlier/better quality example. But that's just a guess.

Cheerio,

Roy.
