Scotty, I dont like it either, compare yours to this moulded fake Heer with S.H.u.Co markings, very similar

I guess it goes back

The O on mine is really stretched.

Is the sign of a molded one on the back when the smooth areas have a 'sketchy' appearance- possibly bubbling?

Scotty, I have posted your pics for all to compare, they can just flick down rather than open up the pics

Thanks Ben!

I'd keep it as an example of a molded repro...but I didn't buy it THAT cheaply

Indeed and those sign are visible both on obverse and reverse : look at the Swastika and Motto as well.
