I'm not convinced this one is OK.
Any opinions are welcome.
Cheers Tony.

It is the poor quality of the strike, the colour, the rear - all point to a fake.

I find the ‘V’ the easiest way to tell - the small, squat V is a sign it’s from the fake die. There are several threads on the forum about this badge, all in agreement this version is a fake.
Cheers,
Luke

J P have a look in this album, genuine badge shown, I agree with Luke ref the 'V' and look for 'seeding' to the central oval on a genuine example.
Cheers Tony.
