Other than the questionable latch, which may have been replaced or repaired, it looks much as a semi-hollow scooped out Frank & Reif GAB should, to me. They were always crudely made.

Hi William
If this was a genuine item, even with a repaired or replaced latch, should it look brand new though?

It must be the alloy they used, as I've run into several of these Frank & Reif's that looked just like this one. Apparently, they didn't tarnish or oxidize as fast as the others. Or, of course, they might simply have never been issued, is all.

Ok, thanks for that William, I don't know anything about GABs, so, would you be reasonably confident that I have a genuine one, albeit with a repaired/replaced latch? I automatically thought I'd been burnt 80 euros because of it's appearance. None of my other badges/medals look this good

Like I said, it certainly matches the other known examples I've encountered by this maker, both in it's crudeness of manufacture and it's odd shininess. I would have to say that it looks correct, in my opinion.

Thanks William, until further notice, I will now move this one out of my fakes list, and put it in my real list
