Thought I’d add this badge here in case it’s not picked up on the other thread which is a bit of a jolly.
This very unusual badge has come into my possession.
No doubt the crown has been off and expertly replaced. The re-positioning of the loops also looks very professionally done, the pinched loops themselves I like as you can see gold braze run down them.
My favourite aspect is how finely the central flag is voided to produce the fork. The badge itself feels, dare I say, heavier than GM. I do not believe it is a repro.
I’ve given it a gentle clean to remove the active corrosion and photographed it next to a WM badge to prove it isn’t discoloured GS or the like.
I’d be grateful to hear members thoughts on it whatever their views on purpose or authenticity.
