Just got this Woundbadge in Black. No makers mark. Seems to be a mis-stamp. So one edge is wider than the other. Opinions please.
Thank you,

Hi grimlin,
I'm not a fan of this one, besides the apparent mis-stamp, the detail all over is very soft. I also think it may have had the obverse side heavily repainted as there looks to be brushstrokes in the paint, but the pic isn't brilliant either. Not for me.
Regards, Ned.

As Ned says, it definately appears to be painted!
