Another good reason to be suspicious. That batch I mentioned on the 8th Leeds thread had all sorts and as I wrote there the Tipfaft one was different from a know genuine stamp. I'm certain these were attempts to 'genuinize' a badge getting away from the normal Gaunt & Firmin marks by using other known companies and getting it wrong.
