A few Cdo titles come in this variation - similar white backing, also the same small holes. Although not my favourite version I would reserve judgement. The single red cotton link to reverse of letters is a good sign
Have you put it under UV light? Although not definitive, if the reverse glows it would NOT be a good sign.

Hi Mike

Thank you for that.

I have had no luck finding another badge like it online yet. I "think" that is a good 'un but not sure yet. I'm hoping some one can show me another of the same.

No, I have not put it under a light as I don't have one. No big call for such as a medal collector!

regards
Darrell

Hi Paul

Thank you for that. I appreciate your knowledge helping out in my lack thereof.

It had to be stored or something to be that bright. That brightness is what had me doubting.

regards
Darrell
