Older Donald Duck pin - Real and so-so quality, or scrapper/fake?
http://gallery.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/group.cgi?group=4376&pin=23089
Got this pin off a lanyard. It is an older pin (from Japan), so it's not in the best condition, but what concerns me are two things: The part of the pin that should be the whites of Donald's eyes are very pale blue, and on the part of the pin that says his name (it's pin-on-pin, Donald himself is the top pin), the trim feels etched (for lack of a better description) and the letters spelling Donald's name are indented (for lack of better description) and filled in; in other words, it's not a flat, painted-on pin, it has *texture*.
The back is plain gold with Disney/Made in China on it (I know older pins don't have one of all the different patterns on them as we have now).
Could someone who actually has the pin get touchy-feely with it (lol) and let me know if I have a fake or not?
Thanks!
