Michael, I had 2 badges for my 9 fin calve covers sone in the UK by:
Pamela David Enamels
http://badgecraft.co.uk
Excellent work, but can take a while if busy. Curt is correct, it is not =
cloisonn=C3=A9, but red enamel.
I can send photos if you want. They made a mold from one of mine so they =
reproduce from scratch.
