Thanks you all. I knew it but I wanted to have a confirmation. I bought it in the 90ies and it’s in my fakes box. Every time I see it it turns my guts upside down.

[Jeff V]

We can all relate to that Klaus! Back in the 90's these GB badges were a big question mark as to which ones were real vs. fake, a situation which was exploited by the fakers.

[Giel VW]

Unfortunately one of the better fakes that fooled so many collectors. It's only since a few years more and more collectors can make the difference between a real textbook GB and all the crap that is floating around.

As said not a good one

Calmly, many of us in the pre-internet era, committed these same errors.
Now it's easierwe know more, it is easier for those interested reading. The first red flags are rivets,but now everyone knows it : ) ... let the other details remain hidden for fakers
