HI Sandro,
It's a well known fake i'm afraid, here's another one that's the same, and yours with the some of the main faults highlighted that are not found on any genuine shields. The serifs are rectangular where the real ones are tapered. The swastika is also not comparable to the real types of this award. The are often ink stamped on the rear 'JFS' but the differences between this type and a pukka JFS are massive.
Above a better focussed shot of the same fake shield.
And your shield with some of the problems highlighted.
Regards, Ned.
