Don't particularly like the hinge - hard to see really. But I'm no expert.

The photos are very dark. Just clear, full-frame shots of both sides
in better lighting would help.

Pin missing on hinge has wire to hold in other than that let me know.

It looks like a textbook GWL badge. The features I would expect to see from this maker are all there - except for the hinge pin obviously and the main pin has been re-applied backwards - and it has a wonderful patina. Nice badge.

Now that I can see it clearer, It looks Ok..............

The pin though, has been re-attached upside down. The 'flat' end should
be facing the back of the badge.

The flat of the pin is supposed to rest against the badge and act as a 'spring'
to aid in pressing the pin to the catch.
