Gloucestershire fakes - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

I remember reading an Allan O comment regarding a die flaw on the plinth of the Gloucester badges. Can someone define exactly what the flaw is? I have three badges two of which exhibit a lumpy line on the top of the plinth. The slider on one is clipped, but the other is tapered and has a crimp mark...what would be the verdict?

This is where it is . I have highlighted the flaw in yellow.

Thanks Alan...that was quick. So the shaky upper plinth on my two don't point to a re-strike then?

No I can see nothing wrong with any of yours.
