Round Badge vs Plate

[RGCirencester]

Would be tricky if you had a mini butt joint... Why do the badges not just say Mannock Replica by Trevor White? If I ordered a replica cue thats what I would want. Dont see the point of identical badges on new cues myself

I think perhaps part of the challenge in building a good replica is to have a good badge just like the original one, and it should not have a SD join if it is to be exactly like the original, right?

Speaking of badge, is the Riley diamond type of diamond plate only used ever by Riley?

Does any of these cues have ivory plates or badges made for the whole production line?

But a replica should be better than the original or why bother at all?
The badge can still look the same but have an extra line "Replica Cue by Trevor White" or something.
