Hi Ned, can I ask. The eagles beak differs between the two examples. Could it be a die flaw? Also, the cross hatching below the eagles wings looks different (could be angle of pics though). Anyway, bowing to your better understanding of PKA's. Could they be different variants? Or just a different catch set-up? Stewy

I had my concerns like you, so I asked Phillipe De Bock to look at it this morning, and he gave it the, which quickly poured oil on my troubled waters.....

Thanks for checking out the badges. Lots of small detail you have to look at in badges. I'm a buckle collector and it sound like the same things we look at in buckles. Die flaws, catch attachments, eagle variations ect.
Thanks
