the problem is,,,they reproduce this all the way..
Piece, box , even the paper glued inside box etc.
And,,unless your a real 'up to date' badge/medal guy its very hard to call this out..
The last few years the trend with reference books is ,,,no more everything type of book and towards the monograph type.. Even though its only on the particular exact type piece its way more through showing the finer details of authentics and exposing the reproductions..
I don't like the ribbon have you black lighted it yet ?
no marking on back of spange
