That's cool, I love silver! I have a contemporary counterfeit of that. One made back in the day. You can see the crude details compared to your real one.

Thats wild, never seen a counterfeit before. The biggest thing that jumps out to me is the point that is right on the N in United, for the version with the two boarder lines, it should be between the U and the N.

Honestly from your picture it doesn't look terrible, but I probably need it in hand with a loop and it would jump out more. Sometimes its really hard to see the same flaws in a pic.
