Spot the real one!

[Ferg1]

These badges seem to be everywhere these days, real ones are actually very rare, anyone interested in buying one take a look at these pictures first. The top one (with the lighter green enamel) is the genuine piece the bottom one is the one you see everywhere. Loook at the difference in detail and quality.The airship should be die struck and shear-cut out with nice sharp details so too should the back-plate.(look at the difference in sharpness/crispness of detail on the front gondalas. The writing around the outer rim should be double edged ,i.e. have a thin silver rim around each letter, a detail barely noticable but not present on the fakes. The pin is poor quality also on the copies. Hope this helps anyone thinking of one of these.Ferg1.
