I am not an expert or even slightly knowledgeable about these badges and despite all the amazing pointers Griff and others have put on the forum to identify not only fakes, but also different makers and periods of wear, I still would rarely try to say yay or nay on authenticity of Mottos. I am however a little surprised that the first badge of the second set of photos is considered original. The massive die-flaw diagonally across the forehead would have put me off straight away.
Cheers,
Alex
