Fake Submariner Badges

[ANZAC]

Hi,

for it`s size it is quite heavy, the enamel is hot baked and the pieces are put together very carefully; so nothing concerning the material and craftmanship tells me that it might be a fake... Has anyone some sort of proof, if it is a fake or the real deal ?

Thank you guys,

Here's mine

you will notice the top part of the badge has the flag missing where my son pulled it off, it was glued on by some sort of appoxy. Materials are brass, copper and enamel. Connecting rings on the name plate are unsoldered and the submarine and anchor appeared to be glued on as the flag.

The blue material in the background appears to be a piece of material applied from the back and covered by a hard clear material to make it look like enamel.

If I was a Russian sailor I'd be bitterly disappointed that a poorly made and garish badge such as this was given to me.

Cheers
