Looks ok to me.

It's a badge (apart from some slider versions) that is generally not reproduced as it was issued in huge numbers in WW1 and WW2.

Interesting!

I know that the rays on some badges are quite ragged looking but this is the first time I have seen them actually connected with dags of metal.

Hi Donny,

Do you think that characteristic is indicative of a certain manufacturer(s) or late war sloppiness perhaps?
