Good evening all, just found this at a yard sale. Never seen one live before and I have no idea if it is real or fake. Only thing on the back is JFS. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Why aren't the wings cut out like this original, among other missing details ?

Gwar

 

    Thank you for your help, I guess that  it is nothing more than a reproduction ?

The font or type of numbers on the 25 are different than the original also.

I would suggest posting a few places for better assessment, not my area of collecting or expertise, but it does have several differences, including the rivets.

Its a reproduction. Gwar posted a nice original example for comparison.

     Thank you so much for your information, it is a good example to show the difference as in the Gwar example. Good pictures that we all can learn from. It is great to learn something new every day, and helpful for others as well to compare. 

 

Thanks again
