That unfortunately is the only image I cribbed from the net, no reverse images. However, anyone who has ever handled a genuine platic badge will immediately spot the difference between these fakes and the real deal. Rough, bulging reverse instead of flat, air bubbles, painted and flimsy blades are the giveaways. I suspect they made a rather rough mould from a genuine badge and cast them with resin or some other modern plastic.
I'm fairly sure they've been here on the forum before.
All made for the reenactor crowd who seem easily pleased judging from the quality of these.
