It appears you may be correct, but at the risk of being tiresome, could you in future try to show what you say is a maker mark, that may help, and say if the badge is zinc or buntmetal if you can, and show an angled shot or two of the catch and hinge.Help us to help you.

Yeah no prob Ned, i was just in a hurry...i know the badge is real, in fact give me about 10 min, lol! ....OK, i uploaded more pics, now i do not see the trace of a maker mark that i thought i saw...i may be going crazy!!!!!!!
Hmmm...Can't see no MM, but the shape of the catch is not what I was expecting! I think this needs looking at with a pair of fresh eyes as i'm a bit stumped at the moment....

i did not comment earlier because i did not expect this type of catch for an L/11.
Any questionson on authenticity? I bought from a very reliable source....
The hardware is not something of a L/11.

Have you any other thoughts on this badge Morris? As far as i'm concerned the block hinge and round pin look pretty good for this maker, it's the catch I have reservations about mainly.But it could well be another maker, perhaps even fake!
What maker would you say it is? And if you think it's fake please point out your reasons why rather than just posting a few words that add nothing to this thread.
Absit invidia, Ned.

The main issue i see is the catch, Im not saying it is a fake, i am just saying it could be of another maker.
