    GWL Pilot Opinions Needed

    This looks OK to me but with all the high end fakes thought I'd better post it since I can't see any breaks at 8 O'clock or those circles for that matter. Of course my eyes ain't to hot anymore either. Thanks in advance!

        r2 Logo was magnified a bit on my scanner. In the hand it is very rounded circle and looks deeply struck.

          The little scratch on the logo on full rear shot is a piece of lint or something on the scanner glass.
          Thanks.

              A very nice fake. The giveaway on the front are the two dots at the 12 o'clock postion on the wreath, which genuine GWL pilot badges don't have

                Good eyes Gene. The fakers are getting damn good, though.

                  Gene is right. A very nice fake that many will be fooled by. Also lacking in the proper finish and a few other minor details. I have handled a similar badge and the weight felt off as well. best wishes,

                    KUDOS to Gene and the others for nailing this fake badge. It is a very good fake that hs been around for a couple of years and can be most easily recognized by the extra "dot" in the wreath and the poor logo....(good logo on the left)

                      In addition to what has been said, the whole wreath (leaf) design is slightly off, also the eagle design, especially the eagle's head.
