Having studied the previous threads on this badge I am sure this one is not right.
The signs are all there thin legs,dodgy eyes and the angle of the owl.
Looked through Dejavuu's album and compered to a good badge and I think I have convinced myself.
Bought on an impulse without prior research, but I do have the option to return.
Could anyone confirm my thoughts please.

Cheers
Paul

Hiya Paul,

OOPS, I wouldn't bother, even as a ' filler ', if you can send it back, I should do so, sorry mate.

Dave.

Hi paul,
As Alan has already said the badge is definatly a restrike, if you can get your money back I suggest you do so,asap.
I have enclosed a photo of a good one for you to have a look at.
I am really sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there are so many bad ones for sale especially on ebay, you really would be better buying from a reputable dealer and that should cost you around £45.00 to £50.00,if you want to know a guy I trust with these items let me know and I will pm you.
Regards Andy.

Hi Andy,
Many thanks for the info and the pics.
No problem in returning, I thought it was too cheap!
Will ask first in future.

Cheers
