From the one photo it is very had to tell but I'm in agreement with all three of your concerns.
The base plate of the catch is too thin. It should be wider.
Take a look and compare to my GAB50.

Hi Map, I was using your badge which is in great condition, as a base comparison for this vendor badge. I did not even post the front of badge due to how many issues I found after comparing back with yours. On the front, the silver coloring was way to thick, causing lack of detail. I am no expert on these but when things don't match.....pass I would think that people who purchase this level of badge do their homework. As to vendors who try and maybe pass on some ones mistake, not good. I would like any expert comments on this badge, the silence makes me believe that I am on to something.

It's a fairly good fake, but too many details give it away.

This $2,500 PAB 50 could possible be a possible big mistake passed on to a uninformed collector. What this shows is how important this site is for information.

Yes....and that is why a measly $25.00 annual fee is peanuts for keeping the forum running

It’s a fake badge. Take a look at the first image posted of the reverse of the badge, note the extended profile of the number box. This is done because when a fake badge is cast using an original as the master they are always invariably undersized. To combat this the faker ‘stretches’ the number box to make up the difference.
Compare the reverse profile to my original RK 50 GAB and the differences become obvious. This is always worth checking initially on any numbered GAB or PAB as it is often (but not always so) found on bogus badges.
I also endorse Michael’s correct comments regarding the recessed catch crimp being a poor imitation of the original.

Looking like another not so good badge. I am posting the front of the GAB to try and get some more responses from the experts on board.

Why wouldn't you just post both front and reverse photos to begin with?
It would likely garner more answers right off the bat.
