[Stewy S]

Hi there,i'm not keen on it sorry. John will be able to tell you more. Stewy S

[Ordens]

Thanks for that Stew, I was'nt holding out much hope!

The ring, ring holder, and colour of the metal are red flags for me. The runes are not deep either. It is a minefield when it comes to any badges, especially SS ones.
Sorry IMO its not right

Also for me John the eyelet distorts the circle. Stewy S

The lettering's way to soft to be original too. Stewy S
