Worn in a/a but reproduced in metal. The Gaiunt mark is a known fake in that size font.

Hi Kevin.
I think many members on here have done the same as your doing now, going through collection and weeding out crap. I am a recent member and did exactly what you now doing. Steep learning curve, but I learnt a lot. And I am still learning, I find it helpful when other members post suspect badges and we can then all see what to look out for on fake items.
I also have quite a large crap box. I make a note of what’s wrong with badge and then use it for reference when looking at similar items. All part of the fun when collecting badges.
Regards
Chris

Agreed, a very sharp learning curve.

Thanks for your reply.
