hello paul the badge imo looks alright, brazing and slider seem right, the badge appears to be "issued but not worn" probably dates between the wars (1st & 2nd) kind regards ricardo

I would echo the previous posts, and just add that the look of the reverse is probably because straight after purchase it was mounted for display purposes.

I have a couple that way - it's just that the badges look more like they did the day they were bought!

cheers,

Andy C

PS - congrats to Ricardo on his 4th post in 4 years!

Gentlemen

A very big THANK YOU to you all for your replies outstanding responses, I feel a lot better now knowing it is a genuine badge.

Just had the gut feeling of 50/50 I have not got any issued badges not worn so learned something new yet again. FANTASTIC

My very best wishes to you all
Paul.
