Agreed a 'ringer' for sure (IMO).

Here is one for comparison with w/m scroll that I believe to be genuine.

Roger,
it is a fake, but don't feel too bad, there's quite a few "Reputable" dealers lists selling the very same badges and similar as genuine!

Andy

Can I ask what the tell tales are for determining the original positing is a copy/fake, I am looking to acquire one of these and to my eye both those posted look suspect.

Cheers

The style of fat square feathers on the first one is the give away.

This is my one; again with the w/m scroll.

I believe that the changeover to the gold title scroll was post WW2 but have been unable to date it exactly.
