Default Replica CAF button

For completeness, I’ll add that there is a 4th variant of this button. It is from the 1967 replica set made and sold to commemorate the original issue. The replica CAF set had examples representing the three sizes of buttons. This mid-size example measures 0.65” and weighs 0.58 g. The strike is noticeably of poorer quality. The reverse tends to fill over the “Scully” name and in other examples I have seen, does that with various degrees of success. The reverse impressions are never as sharp as found in the originals and this is the best way of determining a replica from the original in my opinion.
