Some like this sort.... some don't .... I am on the fence

Thanks Griff,we'll at least it's not a complete waste of £3 are you right in the middle of that fence or do you lean one way or another ,so to speakThanks Gerard

I don't like it. The metal shows signs to the rear that's it's not old.

Still for £3. !!

Thank Simon,

I can see what you say,in the hand the badge holds up to being a little more worn than in the pics i guess,but as you say £3.00 worth holding onto for the mo.

Gerard,
Personally due to the rarity of this badge I would only buy one with provenance but at £3 it's not a bad price for a gap filler

Thanks Alan,

As you say a rare badge & at £3 worth hanging onto, are you of the oponion that the badge is a 100% copy or is it a bit hard to call in this case ?

Thanks Gerard

Not having a genuine one to compare it with, and only knowing a couple of people who have I would err on the side of it being repro,

Thanks Alan,as you say more chance of being repro than not but you never know so i will add it to the not sure pile regards Gerard
