Mr Administrator,

I like your badge for a number of reasons.

1. The skilled craftsmanship that has gone into attaching the lugs. There is no sloppy braising.
2. The excellent detail to the bottom scroll and well defined mottling behind the letters.
3. Good reverse detail. The fakes Ive seen have poor reverse detail (blurred).
4. Finally a well formed tail.

If that badge is a repro then its the nearest copy to an original. There could however be a small design change or flaw in the badge which I havent noticed which the people who reproduce the badges include to identify them from the genuine article.

Some people have posted examples with tails that have been struck slightly off centre. These may well be genuine badges but I wouldnt be happy until I owned an example with no problems at all. I'm a bit like a coin collector I want an example in the best condition with the least number of defects.

If I ever obtain an example direct from a vets family I`ll post it here!
