Default Fake Lake Superior Scotish Badge

Hi all, I have some time to catalogue some of my collection and ran across this fake LSSR hatbadge. I believe there has been some dicussion about fakes in general so I hope this example will aid collectors in spotting them. Note how the lugs are molded into the badge. The mold suture is clearly visible under good lighting and with a magnifing glass. Without the lighting and the glass you might be fooled.

Hi Greg, This one is new to me. I believe the Bondy LSSR single "t" copies had wire lugs attached.
