GAB25 ( JFS ) ... opinions please.

[Matthieu]

Hi chaps,

Bought this denazified GAB25 online, but did not pay huge for it ( alarm bells ringing ).
Did not have my hopes up it being original, but someone told me it stands a chance.

Weight is approx. 34.30 gram
Not magnetic with exception of the pin
Marked for JFS on the back.
Swastika ground away ( badge a bit twisted due to pressure )

What say you .... good or bad ? I know these are faked quite well .

Thanks,
Mathijs

Makers mark and "25" box ( attached by sort of rivet to the back catch plate ).

Shots of the eagle .... zinc I presume ?

I agree, 100% original (OK, 99% original, taking into account the missing swas!)
