    There are only two types of Orth HSF badges accepted as genuine as far as I know and this one doesn't even come close i'm afraid.

    Both are zinc, one has a soldered wraparound hinge and roundwire '?' shaped catch and pin, and the other has a "cast in" type of hardware with a roundwire pin. Checkout these reverse shots of both types, if it ain't like them then it ain't real is probably fair to say.

    Regards, Ned.

    I can't recall ever seeing a coke bottle pin on an Orth...Definitely not one I would want. The quality itself speaks volumes.
