Define "iffy"? When compared to another badge by the same marker there are some small differences inside the gun shield and on the breach block. Are those the "iffy" parts?

The details appear soft, however IMHO that could be from wear....it conforms to this one quite well.

Hello there,

Be careful, there are very good Staegmeir fakes out there....

Good thing yours isn't an exact match.
