Thanks Tony,

Both badges there appear different to mine, especially at the rear.
What is it about mine that makes it a bad one (not doubting it is bad by the way), just would like to say why.

regards

Simon this thread may be of assistance https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ghlight=Glider
I always look at the feather pattern on the legs and prefer a Firmin makers mark.
Cheers Tony.

The poor rear detail and the fake makers' mark are the obvious ones.
