Here's my grade IV JFS 75 for comparison.

Sorry. All bad. I will list a few issues primarily on the reverse where it is most obvious.
Rivets, hinge, catch, pin and JFS maker mark. All of these are wrong. With the exception of the placement of the rivets, look at my JFS PAB 25 for comparison and you should easily see the differences. The rear hardware should be the same. The rivets should also not be flattened and from what I can tell from your picture (maybe it is my eyes), the JFS should be raised and not stamped.

The obverse is equally bad but no need to go into details given what I have shown on the reverse.
I'm sure others will be around to provide their opinions as well.
Sorry for the bad news again.

"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

GAB 100 badge....Sorry....wrong rivets, narrow pin instead of wide, hinge assembly totally different and the JFS makers mark should be raised rather than stamped. And that's just the Back side. A shame, as it would have been worth several grand if it was authentic.

Thanks very much for taking a look and assessing the badge.
