I don’t think it’s either of those things.
The Lambourne Hunts badge is very distinctive and very, very rare. I’ve only ever seen one OR marked example (in Phil’s album). That a faker would’ve managed to acquire such a rare badge from the correct die I highly doubt.
So quite the opposite for me, this badge actually gives me confidence the OSDs with Lambourne marked tangs are in fact genuine.
Plus remember re quality of reverse... it is Lambourne after all, they rarely got the front right!
