Good afternoon fellows. This GPB showed up in a collection I am liquidating. This GPB doesn't seem to fall into what I have seen in known originals. The pin back is a flimsy safetly pin type and the Gilt finish is bright. I am pretty sure that this one is a fake but before I put it in the bad pile, just want to be sure. As you guys know, the original GPBs command big bucks. Thanks in advance for your opinions on this one.

Dear Dave,
Erich is spot on, of course; he's one of the foremost authorities on this and many other subjects. But if you were looking for yet another response, put it on the 'bad pile!'

Yep - it's a cast fake with modern enamel. Because it's cast, it has many correct features, but things like the leaves look soft. The back and pinplate are wrong.
