Default Manchester Pals - opinions please

This arrived today, after checking others that have been on the forum I am happy with it, just wanted to double check unless I am missing something before it enters my collection.
Thanks
Paul

A lovely example with just the right balance on the obverse between that distinctive yellow brass and the original finish and not getting any easier to find these days.

thanks Frank and Roy
My first shot at one of these so very pleasing to get it right, refering to previous threads helped a great deal too, so thanks to all that contributed there as well.
Paul

Lovely item - from my understanding of these badges the position of the lugs virtually on the edge of the badge is a good sign. It has retained its coated finish superbly. I once saw one scrubbed back to brass on the front with the coating retained on the back - it was thought the badge was dirty :-( a real shame.
Mike
