Those pictures are a lot better than these scans. This badge is indeed 100% original and in very good condition!

Hi again

It seems like I was a bit confused. I thought you said it was the same badge, but these are two different ones. The rivets are different for sure, and I would love to see close ups first of that badge under the scanner.

It is the same badge. Regardless, it is a good one. I see no problem here.

Hi Eddie,

I still have the same problem. These are just no textbook rivets. JFS rivets should be made out of aluminium and would have some very specific charachters, which I do not see here. From these scans both rivets even look different from each other, the right one looks a bit convex, and the left one is hollow from the top (maybe it took a hit). Unless they are painted or discolored (which I doubt) these rivets are wrong. I would really like to have this piece in hand because that's what this badge needs.
