Its an awful fake I am afraid.

Wrong metal and wrong maker to name just 2 things.

I thought that Bodhill & Parker mark was accepted as being OK ?

It’s genuine. BP & Co did make S.Staffs badges. The badge is from the correct die and the mark is also correct.

Would appear to be under some very moody lighting as it does look a strange colour.

thak's for your opinion.
This badge does not belong to me.
when my friend introduced it to me, I doubted its originality.
especially with the strike.

I'm going to ask him for better pictures

OOps my mistake.
Sticks to what you know.

It appears from the photographs to be absolutely fine and very typical with a really nice patina, which is not an easy thing to fake, but, if you are not happy, you can send it to me!

Hi Michel,

I've attached my BP & Co badge for reference.
