[L1A1]

Hello all

I have recently obtained the following two badges and I would like the forum's learned opinion on their authenticity

Thanks for your help in advance

Hi L1

I had one of those Cyclists about 3 years ago. I was very happy to get it. But I was told by a couple of members that is was a fake. But about a year later I read on a another thread that it is a good one. I wished I'd had kept mine. I'd say a keeper. I may be contradicted on that.

The SAS one is way out of my area of interest. I know heavily copied. There's a couple of chap's on here than can confirm that for you.

Regards

Simon.

Thanks for that Simon.

I thought the Cyclist badge was strange because it is stamped on very thin metal...Economy badge perhaps?

The SAS badge I wanted confirmation on as, can be seen in the picture, it has no manufacturer's mark on it.

Thanks once again, much appreciated
