Yours differs a bit from the one in the IWM collection: http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30077025 and from this one: https://www.crossandcockade.com/uploads/RAFactory.pdf and this one: https://www.flightglobal.com/FlightP...20-%201187.PDF
Is yours numbered on the reverse?

Rgds, Thomas

Sorry gents did not realise this thread was still going! I do agree that the ones l have seen are quite different regarding the lettering, has anyone got one the same? The reverse shows no sign of a number having been there but does have a replacement to the broach pin and possible resolder to the catch.By the way thank you Mike for improving the image!
Regards Pete
