need a 51st Soo Rifles repro

[DavidS]

Does any member have a Canadian 51st Soo Rifles re-strike they can definitely date as having come from the 1970s-1980s? If so, I sure could use a good photo of the front of the badge. Let me know.

This one perhaps?

Appreciate the link, Phil, but I am looking specifically for an example someone knows dates from the 1970s or early 1980s (maybe one of the old-time collectors here has one from way back when tucked in a box). I'm trying to corroborate a theory of mine and need one old enough to have been a 'Gaunt re-strike' or at least one of the earlier re-strikes that cropped up, as opposed to the newer ones.

David, If this helps, the early repros tended to be a plain brass badge, without a darkened finish.

This one just came up:

I need someone to 'fess up that they got stung way back when, and still have one from at least 20 years ago stuffed in a sock drawer somewhere. If it helps, I promise not to name names SOMEONE must have one they picked up years ago; c'mon, be brave!
