I took no offence what so ever I new my Brass badge to be legit.
I was asking re the W/M version I could not find images off an original.
The strike albeit of a different patten notably the feet position it is actually very nice to the eye and slider is well aged quite springy not at all like a modern fake badge
Obviously now I am aware of the fact that it should be a two part badge this is why I asked for advice.
50 Plus years of collecting does not make me an expert in any way and am always happy to learn new facts
Though the shaping of a badge for wear does not make it original I have mint out of the box ww1 items un shaped and unpolished as issued.
Good hunting all
Regards
Stephen
