Pics will tell, but the middle is OK.

See this gold one from my collection. Early high quality Tombak badge, just a shame about the pin.

Mine looks the same but silver ! Why so they have a circle pattern on the back ?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Alex, the circle pattern on the back is indicative of this maker. All down to the die.

Cheers, Ade.

I thought the circle marks were from machining of the reverse?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Glenn, either machining marks to the back or machining marks to the die. Either way, it is one of their traits.
