Although my badge has a nice strong slider I think the main body of the badge is too thin, too sharp edged and the points where the Inniskilling scroll joins the turrets are too narrow. Comments welcome

Many thanks again

I seem to recall that the crispness of the stamping at the back of the scroll was much better than this. This seems very smooth - or is it from a worn out die.
