I purchased the small book on guards badges but I find it tough to use and the pictures not the greatest, if I post good pictures can I get some assistance in typing them with the text? Maybe I'll get better at using it.
What makes you so sure?
THe more I look at this one the more I"m unsure.
It doesn't have the same number of marks around the rim as the common fake I see on the excellent badges. THere are lines on the rim that look like casting lines, but I've got a DIFFERENT version of this makers nut with the same line on the edge that is a well worn example that I"m 99% sure is legit.
I"m calling myself out here.....I'm no longer sure (the known fake has 48 very thin ticks around the edge by the way ).
Here is one that has the right look and feel upclose, but it too has a funny line on the edge on a small part, so how did you determine this one is 'fake'?
