Can I get opinions of this Wound Badge?

[Steve Nick]

I came across this badge in one of the local on-line auction sites I frequent. This was included in a lot of Boy Scout Badges and wasn't even referred to in the lot description. I just stumbled across it which is amazing to me as it was pictured upside down. So I have no reason to suspect any fakery is going on here.

I prowled around the web looking for examples to compare with my black version which I believe to be original. The shape of the sword hilts seem to vary with probably 80% of the ones I've seen having the "Bow Tie" shape of the hilt. This oval version shows up about 20% of the time. Is this one any good?

The Back?

Unfortunately that's all the site showed. I'm reluctant to ask for a picture of the back as the request then becomes public and that sort of draws unwanted attention. At this point it's flying under the radar.

The people taking these photos have no clue what they're dealing with most of the time. The sort of people who would auction a Samurai sword without taking it out of the scabbard. (actually happened).
