This badge's threads are hard to find here as "50" is too short to work with the forums search functions. A minor issue that might be addressed, but I digress.
The image attached is from the the first post in this thread and of my badge posted in this thread shown side by side. The reason I attach my photoshop montage is I'm looking at a badge with a MM more similar to the mark on the badge on the left of my montage. Looking at the two together I would say that there may indeed be variations of this badge.
If I assume that there were x00,000 of these badges made, beginning in the late 1960s, wouldn't it be possible that more than one batch or mint run of these badges were made? My montage shows very similar but distinct reverses. At least I think so. You? :confused:
Quote: The first one of these I bought was from eBay. I told then seller it wasn't the same as the one in the posted picture but his reply was: "There were variations." There are no variations that I know of - at least not without the MMD mark on the back.
