Andy, I didn't say examples on ebay are necessary replicas!
And my comments were far from hasty, I've been studiying these for quite a while. The example with the cast fault, yes that is a good one I have one with solid provenance too and I know of some other examples that have been dug up from the Market Garden battle fields.
Now for your badges, with a quick search I found 15 of them on ebay right now. Five of them were discribed as replicas, others were from sellers like bestmessdress and brigadeuk: 2 fine suppliers of genuine WWII fridge magnets and more...
There is one good one with the cast fault on ebay, has been for sale for a while since it is a bit overpriced. Also there is a good one without cast fault on ebay for weeks now as it is very overpriced.
