I am in no means an expert but outside the first shooters badge none of the others in my opinion show any natural wear, which in the vast majority of authentic badges do.

It's very clean; looks almost new. It doesn't have that chocolate doughnut fake patina in it, so that's good.
Of course I'm no expert in these at all; too many variations and although I'd like one I don't have one yet.
So, basically, I don't know. :)

No worries, thanks Eric! Yeah I'm no expert at these but it actually looks ok to me so far, just looking for the "usual suspects" of chemical patina etc.
