Hi Gerard,

Thanks for that. May I ask if there are any specific things about this badge that you can tell me that give away that it's fake?

Thank you and best wishes,

Tom

Both the die your badge is from shows it is a fake and the method of construction is incorrect for an original RND MGC.

A much discussed badge on here and subject of many threads. Genuine examples were made in field workshops. In the forum’s 14 year existence I’ve only seen 3 believed genuine badges shown.

This thread will be of assistance…
