Last try £60.

QC-era isn’t my thing but the slider ‘could’ date to the 1950s albeit they have been used for later restrikes. You would need someone to check if a metal East Lancs was sealed or they went to...

Very nice Tim, an early badge with a long slider 1903-05.



A fine example of the 1916 all Gm issue, SP 4734A/1916. In April of that year 3,000 were ordered.
