If it's lugged it's a BIG FAT FAKE!

I'm not, no worries, especially at the price asked. Cheers Andy.

Default Nice photo! Shame about the badge!
I'd say the photo was probably genuine, but the badge probably did not belong to the gentleman in it!

Very interesting photo, Andy. Hard to see what the collar badges are. Any ideas?
Cheers, Tinto

A very nice GMGB badge, this type with the more solid reverse detail are scarce. Even with the polished front it is a nice example!

Steve and I discussed that very badge on here but I can't find the thread at the moment. I had one out of the same dies, and there are identifiable die flaws if I recall correctly.

Mike, here's the one in my album! They are quite thick, but well made, perhaps too well at the time!

It's a nice solid badge and slider. Here are some higher resolution scans of it. I'm happy with the badge even with the polishing.

Cheers Paul.
