Looks OK to me.
Last ditch one piece type. There have been a lot of these around lately but I hav´nt been able to spot any indicators that they are bad.

Hi merdock,

I think it is ok save for the eggshell colour of the wreath and back. The silver finish lurking at us from underneath looks more genuine. Note that the dark spots on the colour on the reverse of the badge are not "age" spots but were caused by a "splash" with a brush or similar (probably while applying the dark paint on front) .

Dark grey/black paint on obverse might also be new. Try some turpentine on the badge.

Cheers, Frank
