Default Birks Type 2

Hi Rob,

I don't think the Birks marked variety is a scarce badge at all. The Roden badge by far is the most common of the maker marked type 2, followed closely by Ellis. The Geo Lees and Birks are less common but I would say going from my own very informal census more common than ANY of the unmarked type 2's. The badge I have listed as Type 2-M is very scarce, maybe rare, as it is only the second one I have seen with that unusual style banner.

In light of some recent ebay auctions and prices for CEF badges, those newbies thinking of getting into CEF might consider General List badges? Still very inexpensive and a great multitude of die varieties and finishes available. Wait until i post my assortment of type 6 badges. Frankly I sort of gave up on these since it seemed that no two badges were alike!?!?
