This is yet another badge, that has been faked that much that it reduced the selling price of originals as people are reluctant to splash the cash in cash they end up with a dud!
I had gone 40 years without seeing a genuine example of this rare badge on the open market and within the space of a few weeks three have appeared, perhaps just a fluke but these are pretty scarce badges!

Andy,
I was in the same boat for years with this one and then all of sudden I managed to get a HMS one, a "normal" one - all within the space of about 6 months (before that it was almost a pipe-dream)... The "ex-pattern card" version that came from another KeithB via Bosleys was the icing on the cake for me.
You are probably right about the price as I always forget about inflation and just how long ago it was when I got mine. Doesn't time just fly....
All the best, David
