I might be an ass... Casted with reworked rivets in IMME style?

Hi Matt,

Strange one for sure. If it is an original, its heavily messed with, with a replaced catch and possibly replaced hinge/pin. The patina also looks very weird, not natural. But I like the rivets, as Mats pointed out, they are pretty consistent with originals. However, the rest of the badge just looks rough and messed with. IMO, its either a messed with original or cast fake....and therefore I wouldn't take the chance on it.

JMME Paras aren't super rare to find.
