Default 23Rd London

I am not to sure about this one... it has sweat holes... it doesn't bend... but the finishing work on it is very poor... the overlay is offset... the banner on the bottom is poorly trimmed... good badge but poorly put together?

Cool 23rd london

Made late on a Friday afternoon after a heavy celebration at lunchtime, they can't all be perfect . . !

Jim.

Exactly as you say......a good badge put together badly and as Rob says a Friday afternoon badge.

This is a very good example of a subject that has been discussed on here a couple of times in the past; quite recently in fact..........not all badges, that aren't perfect, or don't correspond with textbook pictures, descriptions and perceived images of a correct item, are necessarily wrong 'uns.

Regards
Brian
