I would agree with that - the short plinths are a characteristic of modern repros. This is not to say that the design is wrong (I suspect it also occurs in OSD) but that fakes usually have it.

Not forgetting also as was pointed out to me, that those with sans serif lettering in the circlet are also considered to be fake. No serifs - No good!

Tommy,

The badges in Alan's album show the serif lettering in the circlet, signs of a good badge.
