Paul,

it is often the case that there appears (to me) to be lots of information about subjects that I only have only a passing interest in and sometimes not much on some subjects that I have a great interest in.

The latter is most apparent when you raise the subject yourself.

Sometimes a 'bump' does help.

Luke, the badge you have posted looks authentic.

Did you mean Paul, Bill?

The two I posted certainly aren’t authentic. The one on the red background is sold regularly and openly as a copy by an eBay seller who specialises in and only sells cast copies. T’other is an auction house offering that’s obviously repro.

Another eBayer, destination999 (and all his incarnations), also sold similar copies via eBay regularly.

Sorry Luke, yes I meant Paul.
