It is mm f.o. but I cant scan it because pin will not fully open.

Reverse
The f.o. is a convex marking. -
Lacking a good many details on the obverse and a hardware setup i have not seen on a FO badge, IMO a fake.

I agree with Mark; totally wrong setup on the reverse, and on the obverse, those poor sailors don't have a door to get into the ship.

Hi,
A known fake, discussed a few times now. Probably the same original as the SHuCo Coastal Artillery Badge fake.

Ok
I'll post a SHuCo Coastal Artillery Badge next probally the fake your refering to.Comment

If it's got a wide bellied main pin like the Fo Destroyer (but oriented vertically), then it probably is bad. If it's got a horizontal needle pin with tophook configuration, you're possibly OK.Originally posted by Jimmy View Post

Jimmy,
Did this and the Coastal Art. come from a guy in Arizona? If they did he should have disclosed to you they were no good. He sent me pics of two last month (look very much like yours) and I told him specifically the reasons why.
If it was him let me know as I'm going to give him an ear full.
Thanks!!

I bought these and several more from a dealer at the Max. May have been from Az. He had a lot maybe 5 tables of glass showcases. Maybe an older guy.Comment

Doesn't sound like him, he just sent the pics less than a month ago.Comment

A decent enough attempt which has fooled many a new collector.
