Looks fine and as is typical for the economy para badge it is warped to one side.

It seems to be mainly the type with two holes/indentations at the rear like this one that suffers from warping.

They must be the more common type Jack, as nearly every one I remember seeing has the warp, with only a few few not having it. I must look at the reverse next time I see an unwarped example.

thanks for pointing this out Jack.

A not as badly warped example as most I have seen, without the two holes and this seems to support what you said Jack.

Actually for sale for less than many you see.

That said, it might not still be for sale as the site is slow to update sold items and in fact the Welch Dragon collars shown were sold at least a couple of years back but are still listed!

I added a very cheap example for my collection, it has both blades missing, appears melted at one end and has the typical warping.

At least it's original.
