........Moving on with this award, it seems there are other copies being made. I was not able to see the link to Toby's post, but think it might be a badge like this. This badge is extremely good, but the die is not as the original. Many very slight differences. Also the patina is quite different and of a darker grey. As the award, produced or sold, by the two firms is identical. This has to be conjoined by the fact that so few were produced, with these things in mind, then the need for another die is extremely unlikely.
I have added the scan of an original, sorry that it is not as clear as I would like, my print ones are too large to add, but I am sure it will illustrate the points I have raised.
