Hi this w/m Artillery badge - the Orb looks good! Lugs look O/K piercings look rough and these are faked to death so would appreciate your opinions? Many thanks Billy

Poor quality detail, smooth back and the colour of the lugs make me think fake. IMO.

It’s a fake. Dodgy font, poor rear definition. Not a good one

Even without looking at any single detail, the thing I note is that at first glance it looks brand new.
