I think it's good. I've got a silver one, posted on the forum (somewhere). The finish is not much different to yours. Stewy

I like it. Have to check my bronze & Silver versions. Don't remember them being so curved. But it's been a while since I held them in hand.

This one looks to be hand-vaulted. It's a wonder that they did not pop out the back plate by curving it so much. The silver finish is rarely ever good, as the base metal readily absorbed it in most cases. This one looks genuine, but as you noted there is very little visible silvering on the front side, which is the display side, of course. Personally, I would continue hunting and search for one with better silver to it. They Are out there, but are considerably rare, of course, and will cost a good deal more in price.

There is variety in the amount of vaulting in these. Of the examples I have, it seems like the ones with the weakest retaining crimps have the most vaulting.
Here is a photo that I took to illustrate the difference.

Good illustration Ralph. The pin also can differ slightly too. Some are straight out of the hinge & some have the "riser". I would think the later ones of this variant had a lift (riser) on the pin as it leaves the hinge, to help them from popping off the uniform. Just a thought though. Stewy

Nice clasp for me too.
