Many thanks Paul.

The 2004 badge is definitely a fake Lambourne mark.

These badges are starting to assume Elvis is really alive and has been seen myth status for me.

I’m starting to wonder if the only other ranks British maker marked Rising Sun badges are Tiptaft.

There’s clear evidence in the other thread of badges being sexed up with British makers marks to enhance their desirability to a buoyant Australian collectors market.

The prices realised for the 2004 and 2014 badges highlight the reason for doing this even if they may not be mainstream or bulk reproductions / additions. £106 and £262 respectively, ouch.
