I can't vouch for the box, although it appears okay to me.
The PAB looks fine to me.

Both the PAB and case are fake.Take a look here at this WAF thread to save me going through all the details.

Here's an original for comparison, note the differences in the design, the foreground grass and rock, and the area around the co-ax MG port. The fake originates in England around 20 years ago.
Here's another example of a fake box, although this time marked 'Bronze' it's still the same crap. They appeared around 8-10 years ago described as "old makers stock".

I bought 3 of them at a show roughly 10 years ago for uniform dressing. The person sold them as repops $25 a piece.

As always, you are correct.
I viewed this while at work and without my reference photos. I didn't look closely enough at the obverse and clearly was mistaken.
My apologies to Krisse for the incorrect information.

Here is my bronze example.

It's easily done.I have had the same problem, it's always been when viewing badges on my phone though!
The screen really doesn't allow you to see all the necessary details and you end up making embarrassing mistakes, lol!
