      Not sure about that one. It look the new GWL fake. Reverse metal is not what I would expect, no finger print is a red flag and overall finish not a match. Also the rivets are not textbook.

        Some extra pictures would be great, I have a rather good feeling about this one.

        Not a minty one for once...
        Kind regards,
        Giel

          I think the finish on the rivets are skewing their appearance
          I’m seeing some very light swirl marks on back center
          There seems to be a huge variation in the finish on GWLs

          I PM’d Bucky my offer already...

                This one is tough, I can't tell if I'm seeing the "fingerprint" or not. I personally would not buy one without it.

                  I personally don’t have issue, yes there is Alittle difference on rivet and tone. But I don’t see anything that would convince me it’s a fake. Just my opinion. Yes the finger print is a classic tale sign of a GWL but I have seen some that were very faint with just Small swirl marks. Matt

                    But I will say the finish appears on the back does seem funky with the better shots? Matt

                      Hi Seb
                      I think your doubts may be due to differences in light.For example, the same badge in different light, and the comparison of rivets. IMO, these asymmetrical rivets are nothing bad, the versus is in the center of the rivet
                      cheers;

                      ps:
                      But if the badge of the first post is a fake as you think , we are entering a new path

                        Not for my collection. A reproduction IMO.

                          I have looked at this badge over and over, I still don't believe this is a reproduction I think its just the camera shots. IMO its a good GWl. Matt

                            I really think the badge that started this thread is an original.

                              I agree 100% with your assessment! Matt
