One of these badges is from the 1940s and has been in the family ever since. The other one is modern.

They are from an identical die - absolutely the same one down to the last blade of grass. The only give aware is that so many fakes have been made that it is now worn and the reverse is very poorly defined (rear dies wear out first). Someone has an original die and is knocking out fakes. Even the slider is the right shape/style/length for a genuine one.
