    So from my understanding these are made for the GIs right after the war so the factories could earn some money while they still had a lot !!! of these badges laying around so they spray painted them and sold them as real to the US troops.

    Thanks for the info! Never seen this version WB before. Wonder if this maker has any other hollow back badges with a similar set up for comparison. I find the design a little lacking in detail, particularly the leaves. There are fake hollow back badges and anyone with the resources to do die stamping could certainly do a top notch paint job. My gut says no good, but it’s just my gut.

    I have a random question, if you have a genuine one, is there a specific weight to it? Could you just simply weigh the medals on a digital scale? Comparing a few genuine weights to others? They would presumably weigh the same if they were genuine right? I'm always looking for this kind of information because there are just too many fakes.

      @@robertdacquisto6871 it varies by maker. And even by the die used. On top of that, there are material changes. So yes, many books have weights listed but its almost impossible to use that as a guide when buying at a show or online when 99% of the time no weight is listed.

    Hi Dante. Funnily enough I actually am FB friends with Eugene lol. That british medal at 40:14 is a ww2 British War Medal probably the most issued British medal worth about $10. The black wound badge which is attached to the button thingy I'd say is how the recipient attached it to his civilian clothes (just my take) so I'd keep em together.
