GAB Orginal ?

I agree, Giel, they´re dangerous and the convincing aging doesn´t make them easier to detect.

Hi guys, all above are fakes IMO. Two flaws and a flat head grenade are the dead give-aways for me.

Chad, Great thread from GCA! ...That pretty much nails the case closed on these I'd say...All fakes in this thread indeed! Appreciated!

What makes this a fake? I am not sure if this grenade flaw and a setup variation is substantiated enough. Is there some origin known, who made these fakes, where they are from etc.?

I have a very hard time believing that the first badge shown in this thread is a fake just because the GCA owner "is convinced" these are new fakes.

Hi Daniel,

After this thread was originally posted, I have gone over the information presented again, and again (both on WAF and GCA). I agree that the material make-up matches originals very well. Since it seems that these have just appeared in the recent years as stated by everyone who owns them, I'm a bit concerned. In the end, I feel I just need to hold one of these in hand to have a better idea. In the meantime, I'm just holding some caution on these.
