Smile thanks
We are into harvest now,thus the late reply.
Im Garry from south of Swift Current Saskatchewan.
I started collecting CEF back in the 80s but then lost interest. Now Im have the bug again and a lot has changed. Higher prices and more fakes but also more resources like this forum
Thanks for your input guys!

Hi Garry, Welcome to the Forum.
If your badge was acquired in the 1980's the odds that it is good are way better. There were some repro's at the time, but few. Quite a different world now.
