Hi Tonimachi, for me these badges looks good not the typical die struck fakes you see on Ebay. The top one I am quite sure. The 2nd one prob ok but not 100% sure
.Nice badges, well done. JB

Count me to that group of most people would love to have one but they do not come often on the market. Well done indeed, JB
