    Default LRDG Badge from a SF Dealer

    Gary J very kindly confirmed that a Polish Pare badge identified from dealer X as 'rubbish' the other day. Many thanks.
    I am posting this picture of an LRDG badge from the same dealer X, but it would be nice if something he has sold me turned out to be genuine. However....
    'We live in hope'
    This is a brooched version that at least has the edge lip, underbelly recess and appears to have the correct leg connections. I haven't bothered spending any money in establishing whether it has any gold content (which he said it did).
    As this badge will turn out to be the decider of whether I will ever buy anything from dealer X ever again I would appreciate any help.

    Rgds, David

    Hi there,looks like a very rough casting,has a pin that doesnt match the position of the catch and lacks the stippled finish in the ring as the originals have..am no expert though so best to wait for more responses
