Bad nothing like a good GWL, common fake we also see this type fake with the 4 rivets too.

Thanks Jordan, I will leave this one alone!

I'm not real into badges, but I thought this one was looking pretty good, nice details on the oakleaves, what makes this one bad? What's the red flag?

[Jordan Wills]

The head is what gives it away for me, I don’t even need to see the back, it’s not close to any IAB maker that was in production.
Ive attaches pics of a good GWL, same one that was posted up not too long ago. Compare set up, maker mark etc and you’ll see big differences.

Yes i see now. Thanks again Jordan for the explanation!

I just looked at that catch - no way near.

Can only agree with Jordan, this one is a fake.

Nice example Jordan, now THAT is what a nice original GWL IAB should look like.

I agree.

just look at the head that is really badly made useless to look at the back
