After talking with a good friend of mine who has collected press pins for many years he believes the ones that are printed with the braves logo on the feather are knock offs (or fakes) done much later. All the ones that have press printed on them also have the Balfour small stamping on the bottom under the threaded post. The press ones also have a more copper look to them opposed to the more steel look on the ones that have the braves on the feather. He also said he hasnt seen any of the braves feather ones with the Balfour logo on the bottom. If you can also provide a picture of the back that might help. The name Balfour should be at the bottom on the back. As for it being a coaches pin I would doubt that highly as there seems to be alot of these around. Also if Balfour did make lets say a bunch of these for coaches and even players they would have put the Balfour stamp on the back of them just like they did for the "Press" ones.That is why its important to show us a picture of the back of the pin. Also the ones with balfour say "series" on the front not "champs"
