its bad that they are now stampng fakes with MM's

It's nothing new Tom, the fakers have always done it to varying degrees just to add that extra touch of authenticity. Note the makers mark isn't stamped into the badge, it stands proud above the surface, this means the makers mark is incorporated into the die and not just stamped in as an afterthought. It's a good and clever fake, let down by the points that fischer and Stewy have raised and proves how easy it is to be taken in by them and how, unless you know what specific points to look for on specific makers, easy it is to waste money.
