I would have been fooled by the tank badge due to the back looking so good. I am definitely no expert and have a nice collection of fakes because of it. I have learned so much just from the short time I've been a member of this forum, and thank everyone for their help. I now prefer dealing with members here or known reputable dealers.
One thing that I think helps learning collectors like me is to share why a badge is bad. Sadly, I also realize this also can let fakers know what to fix! I read all the posts even if not in my area of collecting, because there is always something to be learned about badges and patches in general.
