A non-collector acquired this recently and has pressed it into my hands. Given its source I cannot believe that it is genuine, but would welcome an expert opinion. Thanks. Mike

Hi Mike, yes looks OK based on the slider shape and the gold braze. Here's mine I picked up last year for comparison. Looks the same other than the crimp.

Cheers

Simon.

Were these badges ever roughly blackened or darkened in any way?
