Naval Eboat Badge Real?

[jefmil]

trying to sell collection for a friend. Some of these badges are suspect. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Jefmil,

The pictures aren't great and it would help to have a view of the reverse with the pin down and also a profile shot of the catch. Having said that, this is almost certainly a cast reproduction, I'm afraid. The L/18 mark is incorrect and the reverse is slightly cupped which is partially obscured by filing of the margins.

I've taken the liberty of resizing your photos with some colour correction.

Best regards,

I also think it is a fake

Thanks for posting the pictures
I was following this thread because your km badges looked authentic .
Thanks for the education.
I've received thumbs up on this one so I thought i'd put it on.
This is what DESTROYED my interest in collecting
fakes and the people who intentionally sell them.
