Note the small protrusion of metal on the (viewers) left plume from the front. This is seen on all the genuine curly scroll type, even the one is Alan’s album - https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ictureid=62188 . Both badges are from the same die. |
Thanks for your input Luke, I was unaware the burr on the plume, that is certainly a valuable piece of information.
As a relative newbie having being stung with a few howlers, I tend to err on the side of caution.
