The fakes are thinner, and quite light, also if you place the badge on your index and middle finger, then apply a little pressure with your thumb it should not bend!, or of course if you are lucky enough to be given one by the person or persons family!!

I have no provenance at all to go with mine, it was sold as a drivers cap badge. Have you got a picture of a genuine article?

My example is quite heavy and certainly wont bend at all without loads and loads of effort.

I wonder if I can track the seller down!

Thanks badgeman, I will now be on the hunt for a good one.

Happy hunting Dave Moore

Happy Hunting Dave, if I see any along my way i will let you know or grab it first then ask questions later.

I have a good feeling about mine, but maybe I will be shot down.

Cheers

Only too pleased help!, I regert to say I do not have an original in my collection, although I do have one, but I know thats a fake, but it will do as a gap filler untill the proper thing comes along.
