Nothing special I'm afraid, but I've not seen a maker marked OR's cap star before. Heres an F.N B'Ham marked one.

You have quite a scarce badge there. Can't help but be a bit jealous and as tony has noted, one to add to the list!

Very nice indeed, Andy, I think that is only the third or forth example that I have ever seen, a scarce little badge and with that typical FN slider.
