APB reproduction?

I believe this is a good quality fake. Please could anyone confirm? Many thanks, Will

This one's been doing the rounds on several forums this last week or so. It's a fake that some are saying is recent, but how recent I don't know! The sword grip is the most immediate sign for me, but overall the badge carries far more sharp detail than originals for my mind without even staritng on the reverse....

Regards, Ned.

There are APBs with a very crude reverse, by many considered to be originals, very much remining of this, but this one is a fake, IMO.

Thank you for the responses. I thought the obverse was a bit to sharp. The reverse seems to have some "good" features but obviously not close enough.

Appreciate the advice.
