These are all real. I'm trying to keep the two threads (1 CPB collection and the fake badges) separate to prevent confusion.... how am I doing so far?

I have decided to post some better photos of the fake on the other thread.

My officer's badge came with one lug re-attached. No idea when it was done. I have had one badge repaired by a fellow at work who works on electronics. It was a simple matter of re-soldering a detached hook. If you can find a lug then it's an easy repair. I know that there are some older collectors around who re-lug badges as a hobby but the fellow I knew was in Winnipeg and it was a long time ago. I would suggest asking some of the big badge dealers as they usually know people who provide this service.
