Unfortunately a bad one , a few of the telltale signs showing, have a check on some of the threads and pictures of the Paddington Rifles for the signs of a good one ( I’m still after my first good one even after all these years collecting

John,
I too have looked for years with no luck. Have a placeholder 10th Paddington in my collection. The points I look for are really crisp strikes with good solid details front and back. The originals I have seen in pictures are really clean looking, detail wise. A clear gap in the foliage outside the center ring at 6 oclock is a good sign. Your pictured badge has no gap. The two d’s in paddington are kinda smushed together in a lot of these non original badges like the one you shared above in your post. HTH Todd |

Thanks for the replies folks .Gutted, thought this one was ok, strong slider, crimp mark, good reverse striking ( I thought), but heh ho, another clever fake.
Thanks John |

Cheer you up a bit, the early Queen’s collar looks good.
