Default DKiG for Review

A friend of mine would like to get some opinions on the authenticity of this DKiG. I have already provided him with my input, but I am not an expert on badges. Please let us know what you think.
Thanks, Doug

Cool Hi Doug......

......I agree with Flemming! IMO It is definitely a FAKE. These were all over ebay 10yrs ago.

They tried hard (or so THEY thought) at the time ... but you can spot these with one eye closed and the other being blind.

What Bruce said about ebay ten years ago is right on. They were ALL over the place. You could find any and all inscriptions on the reverse.

Thanks guys. That was my input as well, but my friend wanted to be sure before tossing it in the junk pile.
