Default Newfoundland Badge for review

Having looked at a number of pieces posted I still cannot decide if this one is good or a duffer. Am having some doubt.

The finish appears to gilt, Measure 34mm x 28mm, any and all opinions are much welcomed

thanks
Jack

Quality of the image isn't the best, but from what I can see it looks ok.

Hi - is the badge stamped or cast? The image makes it look cast - if so, I'd say it's not a good one, Cheers, Ian.

Let me take a better photo. It looks stamped but not sure.

You can see it's clearly a cast badge and not die stamped.

Picture makes it look horrible especially at the bottom and the lugs just bad. I don't think a bad picture could make one look that much off. I wouldn't touch this one if it were up for auction.

Regards

Don
