Note the small protrusion of metal on the (viewers) left plume from the front. This is seen on all the genuine curly scroll type, even the one is Alan’s album - https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ictureid=62188 . Both badges are from the same die.
I hadn't noticed that burr before, you're certainly eagle eyed. In fact there are two on mine - the other burr being slightly to the right closer to the stem.
