Very nice

[Robin Lumsden]

Thanks, Larry.

In over 40 years, I've never seen another for sale.

Many thousands must have been made, but few seem to have survived.

Most interesting, hen's teeth indeed, well done Robin.

[Robin Lumsden]

Thanks. It has never been worn ......................... mint condition. Maybe that's why it survived. Stuck in a drawer somewhere.

I would not have known it was genuine, probably would have passed on it

Is the swimmer badge a 3rd grade because of three waves? or 2nd because it is in silver?

[Robin Lumsden]

Chris.

I don't think anyone really knows.

These oldies are like hens' teeth and have not been well documented.

Unlike the new ones.
