This took about 30 hours and had to do some of the enamel three times to get it right.

Re: Orange badge restoration
That's exceptional work Mike, especially the last badge which looked more like a resurrection.
Ever thought about expanding into the 356 enamel badge world?

Expanding my knowledge. This is the first time I have had a 356 badge in my hands.
Isn't it just the cutest wee thing you ever saw. Baby badge.
