Hi Guys,

My thing is MP badges so I don't have a huge deal of experience with these.

Had these for donkeys years so do really have any great value tied up in them but I'd be grateful for any opinions. Keepers ? or for the bin ? All multi-part construction, all with brazed, not soldered lugs.

I got a few definite modern fakes from a mate to compare and one thing I noticed was that the lugs on mine were of a finer gauge wire and shorter ( at around 1cm compared to 1.3/1.4cm on the definite fakes)

I appreciate though that it might be a case of comparing old good quality copies with modern crap copies
