      Hi Matteo,

      Based upon what I can see from these pictures it shows the right features but to be 100% sure you realy need better pics.

      These F&R Gab's both exist in a massive version and in the semi-hollowversion you show here. Eagles features looks ok and hinge and catch setup are also ok in my opinion. On this version the catch sits on a round base plate while on the massive ones you will find the oval baseplate.

      PS: Matteo I just compared this badge to Lorenzo semi- Hollow GAB and I'm not so sure any more. The Scooped out areas, certainly in the bayonet and handgrenade area are a lot less defined on this badge then on Lorenzo's badge. Maybe lorenzo can post his badge for comparison. For sure you need better pics.

          Hi Matteo. I think it looks right, but bigger pictures would help.
          Below are pictures of my solid and semi-hollowback FR GABs for comparison.

            I think your badge is OK, but with these pics, it is hard to be 100% sure.

            Here is mine to compare to:

                Guys, thanks for your help

                I thought too the badge is fine, though very worn (I used Lorenzo's great source for finding a good one to compare with), yes the semihollow areas are a bit different but that don't bother me much.
                Anyway the badge is on the way to me, so as soon as I have it in my hands I'll post better pics.

                Cheers,
                Matteo
