If there is anything I have learned, quality of manufacture is certainly NOT an indicator of originality. It is only one possible factor; highly dependent upon a given badge.
Many perfectly genuine badges are actually not as good as many fakes in this regard.
Quality is so often used as by collectors to judge badges in any field, and with good reason in many cases, however, it cannot be held to be paramount.
