I understand that most available BF badges are copies. From advice I have seen (https://www.thirdreichmedals.com/pictures/fake-bf-badges.html) :
Researching old listings and pictures, I can see examples of second & third pattern badges that don't fail the above advice, but I have not seen an example of the first pattern (showing the crown) that doesn't have a buttonhole style with a Gaunt marking. Has anyone got a picture of and original first pattern, preferably the back of it?
