    IMO I would say that the badge is an original.

    Here is mine for comparison

              For a near mint badge it lacks some detail, especially to the acorn cups and the maker mark seems soft to me. Could it have been refinished perhaps?

                  Hi,

                  Imo all are original badges in this tread and imo all have original finishes. I've seen GWL Silver IABs with a moderately polished/burnished (&?laquered) finish as well as white frosted finishes (more in line with their Pilot's Badge wreaths). Imo Grzegorz's example is an aged/darkened frosted version of Sturmmann's example whereas Mark's example shows the "burnished" obverse finish.

                  Regards
                  Mike

                  Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!

                  If you PM/contact me without the courtesy of using your first name, please don't be offended if I politely ignore you!
