max7474 Posted 16 December , 2004 Share Posted 16 December , 2004 Having seen this badge for sale as genuine I was concerned over one point of its construction; namely the tower windos are not voided. In Wilkinsons book the example he shows is of such a good quality photo that it is clear that all 4 windows and gateway are voided. I have seen lots of copies where only the gateway and central windows are voided. Any experts out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 16 December , 2004 Share Posted 16 December , 2004 . Any experts out there? On this Forum? Apparently Not! However as a strictly Non expert,the Badge looks OK,The Glob of braze by the scroll edge would put me off personally as quality control was quite High & Badges not up to scratch would have been Rejected,Could you show us your Back,so to speak?The non voiding of the Lights could be just a Manufacturer's Difference,Wilkinson only shows a Small selection of Badges,& Few Variants are ever depicted,,even in K & K;The old MHS Journals if you ever see any are a Mine of such trivia,with regard to Badge Variants,etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max7474 Posted 22 December , 2004 Author Share Posted 22 December , 2004 Harry, Sorry for the delay but here is the back. I would be a lot happier if it had voided windows, a set of brazing holes under the banner at the back and the slider was of a different shape as most modern restrikes have a paralell slider of a standard length with a perfectly rounded end. Consequently it is still up for sale! I would appreciate any comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
