The only drama is that the guy (Sammy) is too honest. He approached GMH, got a knock-back, and stopped repro'ing.

I'll be happy to be slapped down if I've read the 20yr bible incorrectly but believe the following is accurate as I thought they were one and the same.
Part # 7411927 is;
"NAME PLATE ...... FB .......exc FB/219, FB229" (ie fits 215, 225, 2104, 2106) Greedybitz new price $189.99 + $18 postage (personally delivered by him obviously)
"NAME PLATE ...... EK ....... EK/2104, EK/2106" Greedybitz new price $166.24 + $18
Mr Greedybitz must enjoy reading this forum as he has only dropped the prices today from $199.99 and $174.99 respectively but take heart, as above, the badge is the same for both as per the parts number so buy the cheaper one unless he can justify otherwise. Quality is average and passable but with lots of small hand file marks, and I was fortunate enough to find a decent stocker so resold them
Out of intersest FB and EK 219's and 229's share a common badge part # 7401770
