Can you, please, help me to authenticate this SS badge. It is a good one or a copy.
Thank you very much for the replies.

I have never seen this version of this badge. Looks like its trying to be a sleeve badge. I also dont think these came in a silvered finish. Also the letters seem to crisp as compared to originals. Thats my observation of this badge. Vince

Yes that is a copy. That is a highly faked badge that is produced in varying degrees of quality. This is mine, presumably authentic that I bought from Telesmanich awhile back.
