A nice addition Doug!
It does appear to have the war time tool mark on the pin as well.

Well pointed out Ralph I did forget to mention the tool mark on the pin in my summary
Cheers

No problems with this one being wartime compatible, it's identical right down to the entire lack of finish as the unmarked zinc one shown on the GCA database.
BTW, the tool mark is not referred to as a "scrape" on war time produced badges as far as I'm aware, the post war production were known as having the "57(er) Scrape". To avoid confusion for new collectors here's a selection of war time accepted S&L pin tool marks.
And here's the post war so called "57(er) Scrape" seen on post war production badges.
Mixing the two up could prove unfortunate.
Regards, Ned.

True Ned, I will edit my response to reduce confusion.
It is obvious that the mark is left as a result of the tooling that was used to bend the pin.

Hi Doug,
you picked up for sure no junck with this nice S&L badge. This type is attributed to the war time badges of S&L, as the guys said already here (full zinc type A) and the most common para badge out of the company from Steinhauer. Congrats for this badge!

What a great lot of knowledgeable input. Thank you all for taking the time to respond.
Ned your summary of the 'tool marks' on the war time badges andthe 'scrapes' on post war examples is excellent information. It is really appreciated.
Just need to track a Juncker down now!
All the best
Doug
