4 prongs, offset eye, looks OK, but do some comparisions on this forum.

The other problem is as you have stated, many many fakes. Every show has these fakes by the dozen almost. However, I have noticed they usually have the straight ahead eye vice the offset eye to give them away and problems with the pin arrangement.

Please do some research on the pin arrangement on the back, I think if that matches your badge, plus the eye direction, it is probably OK.

Just be careful, it is a dangerous one. John

Hello John

You are right . The badge looks certainly funny . I have heard some opinions .The original had sharper points to the pin ; attachement point of the pins to the badge were much more smoothly done

I have put off , I am not very interested in the Honour Clasps .

Many thanks
