I think the enamel on the star may have been replaced, can't quite see. The chain looks original

Okey dokey, so far soooooooooo good?

The interesting thing on this is the lower part of the "B". It appears to have a rivet? Or is just the enamel missing?

Thanks fellas!

However, I'll take your word.

Re: Medical badge:Real or fake pls?

Picks are pretty good. Once you've licked the hardware issues (camera/lens/tripod/lighting/etc), the real "software" key to good posts here is two-fold: make sure you have contributed to the forum so you can work with the 120KB file limit, and then have at hand a good image editing application that has strong optimization utilities to get the maximium quality and size within a given limit. I use Photoshop CS and CS3 to get super results, but there are cheaper alternatives out there that do well also (Paintshop Pro, etc).
