Hello Hel22,
Welcome.
CEF badges have long been subject to reproductions. There are phoney Gaunt plates that have been added to phoney badges. There also may be some good Gaunt plates put on phoney badges. If he wishes to start a CEF collection, I would suggest buying only from reputable dealers or vendors who will give a money back guarantee. There are many threads on the Forum about Gaunt plates and reproduction badges and they are helpful. The CEF gallery is also a great reference.
