    This is the one that was on Fleabay last night isn't it?
    I guess it was removed after somebody reported the TR Connection.

    I thought it looked like a closish match to an original.
    I haven't had time to look at it closely.

    All the best

    It is a pity this one is knocked about so much.
    Looking forward to seeing the better pictures.

    If Big Ned was here he would let you know in an instant if it was good or bad.

    Hi Calvin and welcome to the forum!

    I've edited my reply completely since the pic's that were added whilst I was writing this post tell a possible different story!! Here's my '25' for comparison.

    And side by side with my '50' showing a variant rear set up.

    It stands a chance of being a clumsily repaired original thats been polished to death, but as Doug says, only more and better pic's will help decide for sure IMO.

    Regards, Ned.

    Looking more closely at the rear shot of the badge, I think I see a little ray of sunlight. On the early numbered PAB's made by Brehmer, the tool mark on the pin bend is almost like fingerprint evidence when it comes to aiding identification of a genuine piece as it is unique and constant. The fakers cannot copy this (yet) and it is a good indicator as to a badges authenticity. Take a look at this highlighted version of your original photo:

    And now two examples of the tool marks on a couple of genuine G.B. numbered badges:

    I think most would agree that all three are of the same configuration. In my opinion that goes a long way here as far as verifying your badge's credentials, but I must stress that more pic's are required to back this up.

    Fingers crossed, Ned.
