Not one I am familiar with.
It utilizes a guide for the hinge plate, and an oblong catch plate, which so far, I have not been able to identify.
I am unfamiliar with a maker that exhibits both of these traits.
I will keep looking.
Ralph.
I am pretty sure it is an original, but may have a replaced catch.

Hi Ralph,
Simply superb. Thank you very much .
You are truly a guru of PABs.
Best regards,
Andrej
Hmmm, I don't recognise this badge as being from a known maker either but I think the point here is that the "bubbles" indicated are not die flaws but are (or would be) a result of the ageing of the badge and by definition should be unique to an individual badge. So, to see three badges (four counting the one at the top of the thread) with identical "bubbles" suggests that they are all born of the same original ie cast copies which carry over the idiosyncrasies of the original. Examination under magnification would show what are in fact well, "bubbles" or simply hard lumps carried over in copying.
I agree with Ralph, we need to see the whole obverse and reverse of the three posted by Ryuuk.
Just my thoughts.
Regards
Mark
