Hi guys - OK, I will admit my stupidity upfront. :frusty:
I didn't FULLY explore this forum before purchasing a silver HJ proficiency badge, and I got one with the dreaded "S" ... from a reportedly very reputable dealer (but a first time purchase for me). It just arrived so I may be able to return it. However, since I committed the sin, I figure I should take some detailed photos and share for the sake of discussion. Once I examine it closely, it seems like there are some very clear flaws on the reverse and sides. Since the seller has a strong reputation with others and I just received the item, I might stand a chance to return it in short order.

Any thoughts or validations from you all? I welcome and value your opinions! Many pictures to follow ...
Thanks, Dan

Like you already know: not good! I think Jo spent some time in the past to unmask this bugger as a fake.

Regards, Wim

THanks Wim - the good news is that I was able to return to seller and get refunded, so my lesson wasn't $$$ costly. Dan
