I have seen hundreds of TR wound badges, authentic examples always have the rear rivet. I base my judgement on past experience. The guide is nothing more then a reference that supports this. If you want to say the badge is original, then please post an authentic WB missing the rivet to support your claims. I am by no means an expert on these badges, I am only pointing out the huge red flag waving in front of me.

Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Interesting replies. I have looked at the links kindly provided and am non the wiser really. There are plenty badges without rear rivets for sale at various sites and one which is below. A silver washed badge stamped 94 on the rear ( Josef Ruckert & Sohn) but with no visible rear rivet. Like a previous poster noted it is probably wise to just look out for rear rivet varieties.... Or, if the silver badge is ok is this the possible manufacturer of the badge I have photographed as the detail is remarkably similar.

Hello Mark
Is this badge solid? I think Josef Ruckert & Sohn was 92. My concern is the number of black badges
with no rivet that seem to be everywhere at the moment. the rivet size on a solid badge will range
from quite pronounced to a tiny little nub that you will pick up under a loupe . However there is always
something there. The black badges in question have never had a rivet & this is very obvious when the
rear of the badge is examined. There are two threads here where these particular badges are discussed
at length. I will give you the link to the first one which will in turn lead you to the second.

I am sorry that you will have to type this link in yourself as I am a total computer dunce & don't know
how to steer you to the link properly. I hope this will enlighten you a bit about the badge you have shown.

Thanks Brett and everyone else for your replies, links etc. A fascinating subject which I'm looking forward to researching further. The silver I posted a pic of is indeed solid.
Regards,
Mark.
