Frank,
Hey! Yes, definately a bogus badge. But they did get the maker's mark in the right place. The image shown with the F&BL is upside down, putting the mark in the right place. If you view the clasp, from the rear, with the hinge on the right, the mark is upside down about the catch, which would then be on the left.
Mark
PS - Get those books out! (EDIT HERE) As is your new GAB Book!.
