Due to the lack of voiding around the portcullis I think this is a dud. I'd love someone to prove me wrong (Orasot?).

Stephen.

The un-pierced crown and centre and the lugs are all wrong I am afraid.

Thanks for your replies. I'm neither surprised nor overly disappointed: it came with another badge I did want so I'll look at is as being an unwanted bonus!

Stephen.

I have noticed some don't have a fully voided portcullis- any thoughts on such examples? It seems to be 2 or 3 squares that are not voided. Regards, Paul.

I have an example with the 3 unvoided squares as you describe. I bought it from a very trusted and reliable dealer and these are seen from time to time. I have no reason to doubt that they are anything but genuine.
