Mine is voided and the mark runs the other way.

The only one that I have is voided with mounted wheel, makers mark running bottom to top - and probably a bit of N.I. service.

Thanks all.
So my unvoided badge is probably a manufacturers error.

Hi Tim,

I would not say error so much rather than unfinished. The badge seems to have skipped the pierce stage where the voiding is carried out.

Regards,

chris
