If there is anything I have learned, quality of manufacture is certainly NOT an indicator of originality. It is only one possible factor; highly dependent upon a given badge.
Many perfectly genuine badges are actually not as good as many fakes in this regard. Quality is so often used as by collectors to judge badges in any field, and with good reason in many cases, however, it cannot be held to be paramount. CB

Notts & Derby Regt The Yorkshire Regt Royal Irish Rifles South Staffordshire Regt Durham Light Infantry Liverpool Pals TF Middlesex Regt Machine Gun Corps Norfolk Yeomanry There is very likely more. The one with a stratified date is the Liverpool Pals. It’s the 1917 version being die struck with a slider according to Julian’s research. I believe he stated the change was mid-1917. Ticker’s Board of Trade Labour Gazette research shows BP had two contracts in 1917 awarded January and August. So cross-referencing the two logically the Liverpool Pals must have been made from August 1917 onwards. The quality of these is generally relatively poor. |

A yellow metal Yorkshire Regiment badge with the D underscore full stop (bought back before I knew brass WWI economies of white metal badges weren't produced). |

Typo on my part you can see the underscores are on different heights. This is a genuine one. You can see the difference mentioned in the mark and also that they’re from a different die. Yours being from the MM fake die. |

Yes, my one's a fake "WWI economy" of an all white metal badge - just that it has the full stop, your post stated that the fake mark's dont have the full stop?.

There’s two repro BP marks and I mixed them up. The ToysRus mark has all the full stops and underscores, rather the underscore alignment is wrong being too high. The other, and I believe more recent, fake BP Mark is a more accurate in terms of font and underscore alignment but is missing the full stop I referred to. Hopefully that clarifies. |
