Hi Parabellum, i have a similar badge though a different strike to Mikes and with much more fine detail. Only 2 lugs to the back however and no sign of a 3rd. I have always thought this badge to be the real deal but would like to understand what the significance of the 3rd foot is? Too small for a helmet plate centre so would this be a manufacturers variation? The strike is not the same as Mikes badge in many ways the main differance being the void below the castle. Is this a variation or banger! Not doubting your comments but would like to understand the reasoning.

Many thanks, kind regards, Dave
