Mine also has a few rubbed spots, which I hope are the results of some over zealous matelot rather than some dodgy faker - I choose my spelling carefully.

What does anyone think of this item?

Bit late I know but it’s a fake Andrew. Not having a Gaunt plate isn’t a kiss of death though. Your badge is from the fake die sadly.
