Original Hollow-back GAB?

[RobertE]

I looked through the array of posted GABs, and would like opinions as to whether this one is a good one. I must say, some folks have some magnificant assault badges!

Is this the Angry Donald, or something even worse?

[Bruce Simcox]

Hi Robert......

......I would shy from that one if I came across it. The hinge doesn't look like anything I've yet to see on a genuine GAB.

[Wim Vangossum]

Hi Robert,

It's not the "Angry Donald". But it is a fake in my opinion and tried to copie the Frank&Reif design.

Yup, that's a known fake.
