Default First Special Service Force Cross Arrow badge
The same seller had this FSSF badge, sold for $1,275 US.

So, can we make this a point of discussion? What makes this cap badge a 'fake'?

(And just to be clear as we are not posting the ebay images and eventually the links will be broken. This is an apparently fully die struck crossed arrows badge, with 4, half round copper lugs)

This is not an area of collecting interest for me, but I am curious. I would have taken the vendors word for it that this was an example of a Canadian made (lugged) Crossed Arrows badge?
