You are right, James. It is chemically aged fake.

A poor quality and chemically age piece. IMO who knows? backing would help.

Looks like the top mounting tabs have broken off!..

It's a strange one to me! Looks like an Orth type 'B' with the side tabs, but all Orth badges were magnetic. The remaining tabs look a little different in shape, they should have rounded tips I think. Obverse is pretty good looking, but the fact it's non magnetic means it must be a duffer unless it's by a maker i'm not aware of. I'll be interested what others think about this one!

We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course, and the end cannot be far.

I'm not dismissing this out of hand, it does look to have a chance!....
