Further proof of the badge's authenticity, if more is needed, is that it has been in my own personal collection for more than ten years.

Blimey,

You do have 'em.

Love the way the parachute rigging doesn't line up with the canopy markings.

Never seen a Firmin mark like this one - assume the mark was added after manufacture?
