One small correction. The catch plate is used only on zinc versions of the badge. The fake badge at the start of this thread is attempting to mimic a Tombak badge and so would not use a catch plate.
Here's an image from Martin W. showing two badges previously in his collection. Both are the "later" dishback version but the one on the left is Tombak (no catch plate) and the one on the right is zinc (with catch plate).
Best regards,

Thanks Norm, I did not notice it was trying to be a tombak!!. Leon.
