Model M badge font

[feltel]

I'm about to bolt-mod my "new" silver-badge Model M. It came without an outer birth certificate. I want to create one, but I cannot find the right font for it. Does anyone know which font the UK plant used back in the days?

The picture is the inner label and as far as I'm aware of the outer and the inner label are the same.

Maybe try https://www.reddit.com/r/identifythisfont/

If I were you, I'd try to scan/photo the inner label for printing the outer one. All you need is just a little of Photoshop to transform and mend distortions.
Nice the rainbow plate, what about the membrane? it's stuck to the plate, isn't it?

First try after a hint from the reddit-Thread. Its not perfect, but I'll work on it. The line spacing has to be improved for example. As I learned the outer and inner label differ on some minor details, esp. the BUILD TEST ..-line

I have not cracked open the rainbow plate one. All bolt/screw-mod work I've done so far I did on a parts donor with a warped outer case. If I succeed I plan to use its barral plate and use it to build it into the rainbow plate one.

What font did you use?

"Retron 2000" I aquired from https://www.dafont.com/bitmap.php?text= ... NG&fpp=200. Its not 100% perfect, the type faces are more rounded, but I can live with it. I need to make another Copyright-Symbol through. I'll test print a label soon on a 24-pin dot matrix printer and "age" the label a little bit with coffee or tea.

Round the corners with some scissors and laminate the label, it'll look pretty accurate.
Perhaps also try find some off-white paper to print on to make it appear more vintage.
