J-P,
Nice pic of the back, the front looks like it was taken on a SeaFrance Ferry....

For that money, you can't go wrong.

J-P,

Not great pics of the badge, but not a bad looking badge having said that. At 5 euro you cannot complain!

The crimp mark has been added later imo. It is a very good copy.

Alan, that crimp mark looks like it has been added with a cold chisel!

I am not keen on this one, the crimp mark looks far too deliberate for my taste, but as you say €5!

The fullness of the crown gave me pause to think - fakes are usually terribly flat - but I agree with that 'crimp mark' - a faker's afterthought. Good at the price and wouldn't shame a display board.
