Greg, Interesting question here. Is making an obsolete non-used cap badge counterfeiting? Who owns the likeness or design of a badge that is no longer in use? In most cases I thought the regiment or the government owned the design, and contracted to companies to have the badge made? So, is it the SD & G Highrs who should be concerned? And if so, what could they do about a badge that is no longer the approved pattern? Obviously the use of the Scully mark would not be legal on a current badge, but what is the legality of the use of a maker mark on an obsolete badge?
