These pictures are excellent quality, but they will soon disappear (they are in photobucket, not on the forum)

Top badge has the die flaw on the first L of ARGYLL which is present on a well known eBay repro merchants examples of this badge. This same die and flaw also features in the Martin Marsh repro catalogue.
Second badge is from the same die as this very modern anodised aluminium badge https://www.cultmancollectables.com/...oduct_id=11003 . Note the flaw below the coronet and its base not being completely stuck. The seeding is coarse, the cat looks more like a chipmunk and the overall rendering of features is poor. Lastly the reverse looks poorly stuck and an unusual colour which I suspect is chemical ageing. |

Wardog, I am finding this hobby a great learning curve, but have learned more from this forum and reading nearly every post and studying the albums to be the best resource ever. For me it is great since affording all of the nice expensive books is tough.
Trust, I have a pretty healthy duff bin!!! Terry |
