I'd forgotten about this thread, okay, so the badge with the blue background and the second flaw, next to the cross, is spurious, but, the others are original?

These have however been re-struck from the original Gaunt die. The badge with blue background is a eBay fake/restrike seller so they’re being made to this day. Notice all have the flaw on the first T of SCOTTISH and then a second larger flaw has developed later by the second T near where it meets the cross.
