Textbook Baqueville badge, very well done, I really like it.

Sorry it's a fake IMO. The hardware & reverse is wrong. The obverse details are soft too. Stewy

imho this is a fake as stewy says it looks to soft
heres one on jamie cross a nice french style

The first example has a "shadowing" on the oak leaves. A dead giveaway for me. Stewy

called "flash" for cast copies

Interesting for me, I shall dig further.

The hinge baseplate overlaps the badge. Which i'm not comfortable with & as Tom says "cast" or "spun cast" awards are known to be smaller. I may be totally wrong but it's not one i'd want in my collection. Sorry. Stewy

thats not good news... ive looked at the other references i have and it looks the same. can i take better pics of certain areas to confirm???

more pics....

talltom, the pic u added has the same "dents" on the back where the boat is, and if you look closely the hinge base plate also overlaps the frame.

I really need more opinions please, thanks you to everyone that has replied, appriciate it alot
