I love Cupal badges. Yes...one can see the copper base on the wreath were it is worn. Beautiful !!

Thank you gentlemen...
David: Cupal is fantastic! Especially in a lightly worn state. I think I have 3 or 4 awards (including this one) in Cupal. Love them all.

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Michael, I don't see a problem with the excessive solder round the hook.
It seems to be quite typical on both the cupal and tombac wreathed ROAGs attributed to FLL
It's a very nice uncommon badge and a nice addition to your collection

Thanks Doug.
This award was owned at one time by Mr. Durante. In his analysis, he did not mention as the catch being repaired. Nor did the sellers description mention this either. (Full disclosure - I have seen photos of the award when Mr. Durante owned it and it is exactly the same).
That said, I've seen another example of this makers ROAG (but not in cupal /aluminum) and it didn't have this much excess. But as you note, it's not unheard of to see this on cupal awards...
I guess I was just being cautious in my views....but good to know that is not the case here!!! Makes it even nicer!!!!

You are right Michael
The zinc FLL badges always seem to have a neat solder job on the hook plate compared to the earlier badges
I think I may have a picture of one of Toms badges
If I get chance I’ll dig them out
Cheers

Awesome Doug. Thanks. I guess I was just being too pessimistic I guess. The top photos I think are from Mr. Durante's post on WAF if I remember correctly.
Now on the hunt for a nice AG award...just have to build up some cash first!
