Just got this today and to me it looks good but wanted to confirm with the crew.

the letters "MPC" indicating Minister for Railroad on se screwplate seems original...

Sompelace... in an earlier thread?... we had TRIED to come up with known dates with serial numbers.

"Ministry" means 1946+. Looks fine to me. These are lovely badges for important work.

Ah, here is that thread:

looks like your badge is one of the very last awarded in this style, about 1957 or so.
