Ed_Haynes Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Heven't we seen this one before? I think so. And I think I said then that it looks pretty crude to me, either poorly made (whether authentic or fake) or it has simply had a very hard life. Additionally, it seems to have no number. Personally, I'd give this one a pass, awaiting a more normal specimen in which you'd have more confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Let me clarify, and this is all detailed in the other, main, thread on these badges -- http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5058 -- into which I am tempted to merge these posts.This type (D 03a and D 03b which are the same) is numbered, observed numbers run from 14 to 975,D 04 may be a fantasy or unissued prototype.D 05 (and Herfurt shows a variant otherwise unreported) is unnumbred and dates from the 1970s.
