Hi All
Is this a good badge or a dud? The mark isn't the 15mm fake, but when I measured it with a vernier, it is 12mm rather than the 11mm mark which is considered ok. Were these badges even found with this maker mark?
Thanks, cheers,
Alex

All my original ones have brazing holes - two different styles. Denis
