Notes to remember:

This fake was made to be an FLL PAB. The fakers created their own die with a unique obverse design. The reverse of this badge features a very well made catch and the hinge is close enough to known originals. The badge finish is really high quality. I find this type of fake very dangerous, because fakers didn't really try to copy the original design but created their own. This may lead to the perception of an unknown variation from this maker by many collectors.

Special thanks to Scott Nyre who helped to acquired this badge.
