Default Fake or Genuine? Need help...
I need your help to identify if my badge of the '1st ARMOURED CARRIER CANADIAN REGIMENT' is this an original or a reproduction. Someone issued a doubt about the originality of the badge. I would like to have your opinion on the subject. Or tell me what i need to know, for making a correct identification. thank you

They both look like reproductions I am sorry to say. The O of armatos should be more of a 0.

Default Fake or Real
I agree - Repro!

The shape of the ears, "Bug" eyes, cant of the arms, course grass and the shape of the "O" make me believe that it is a repro.
