This fake..not period

[JJS]

I am very skeptical based on what I can see. But better photos are requested to properly evaluate this badge. Please post straight-on shots of obverse and reverse views, and close-ups of hardware.

Thank you all for confirming that.

I will be sending it back.

Question to more experienced forum members/ moderators

is it allowed to post where i purchased this "original badge" in order to warn others ?

[Thomas Durante]

Hi Fasol,

As the others have said, this one is a fake unfortunately.

Yes, it is fine to post the dealers name to warn other collectors. Keep in mind, there is the off chance the dealer doesn't know its a fake either. The better course of action in my opinion would be to post any badge you at here on the forum first before you buy. There are many good collectors here that are always willing to give their opinions so that is always the safes course so you can have confidence in your purchases.

Good luck!

Tom
