I'm starting to think everything and anything of worth is being reproduced in the
hobby these days - varying in quality, from putrid crud to extremely dangerous
- and I also believe every that collector has been stung or caught out
with fakes at one time or another.........!

Could someone tell me the maker of mine please. Appears to be unmarked.
Also it may sound silly but what is the correct way to open the pin, i slightly push down and it doesnt go down anymore, i dont want to force it as im affraid of breaking it.

Hello Daniel,
I can't tell you who the maker is but clearer photos are needed.
It is possible that the catch has been bent closed, try to take an angled photo of the catch.

Photos are terrible im sorry, i cannot seem to get a clear shot close up. Hope it helps

Hi Daniel,
Take your photos from a little farther away so the camera is able to focus. You can crop the photos after in any photo shop program. It appears that the catch has been bent a little, sometimes they require a little "snap" to get the pin out, I would just not worry about opening it.
Hope this helps,
Ralph.

I rather stupidly pushed down and got the 'snap' however it didnt open nor did it break so im sure it is bent on the catch. I also pushed a few buttons and found out i have a hd feature on my phone so i took 2 more photos. To maybe help make the badge more clear.

Hello Daniel,
I am not sure that Ilike the dot pattern on this one. Might be best to start a thread on it's own. You will get more responses that way, also, easier to find later.
