Want to authenticate the GAB

I see 40 views on my thread on this GAB in 2 days. Nobody didnt comment on this GAB?????? I still need to authenicate this GAB. Thanks!

Try to make clear shots of the badge. Have a look at your camera, if there is a switch that says "makro" and switch it on. Usually this helps for clear pictures.

If you look out for the modern copies, you will find that your pictures are unfortunately useless for authentication.

From what I can see on these photos, and only that, I would tend towards authentic but, as Daniel already pointed out, the top copys nowadays are very near to the real thing. Try and get some good scans done.

I will take much better pictures of this GAB later today. I am not really good at taking pictures with digital camera. I do know to use macro on my digital camera. Thanks!
